[Buck]

Well that was the most pathetic half inning of baseball I think I've seen this year for the Padres.

There was zero reason to not challenge that. ZERO, to much on the line. You lose NOTHING by challenging that.



And holy crap Wade

Right now, Ned arguably has cost us the game by not trying to win.

[Nightfyre]

Ned Yost should be fired for that mistake. If we lose it is totally on him.

well, as far as "you lose NOTHING" goes, if you, hypothetically, really think the umps wont overturn, then you don't challenge.

[gblowfish]

Both of these teams are hopeless. My laptop is almost out of juice. Kitties are all asleep. Time to switch off the TV, fall asleep to the radio.

Bring home a winner boys.

I'm out.

Ned isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[CoMoChief]

wow that was a pathetic AB by Moose.

Ned needs to send that pos back down to Omaha.

[alnorth]

I wonder if its possible that Ned did not know that he still needs to challenge after the 6th inning if he hasn't challenged yet.

A lot of announcers screwed that all up to hell the first few weeks of the season, falsely thinking only umps could initiate challenges after the 6th.

[C3HIEF3S]

He's definitely going to have a hell of a time explaining that post game.

[petegz28]

Couple Ned sitting in the dugout like a wimp with pinch hitting Dyson and letting him swing away when you have Moose, Butler and Maxwell on the bench...

Ned doesn't send anyone anywhere.
That is the job of the GM.

I know you aren't watching, but it was close. To close to not challenge. When are you ever going to get a better opportunity to challenge a go ahead run in the 9th that was extremely close?
