Excruciating victory but a w is a w.

That dope of a manager intentionally walking a double play merchant like Bohm to load the bases. He should be banned from Tim
Horton’s for life

Oof, Kerkering’s last 10 appearances, 11.74 ERA and 2.09 WHIP.

The talk of extending him is crazy. He has systematically destroyed their farm system which is almost barren without anything to show for it. The only guys on the team from the farm are generally replacement level guys like Bohm and Stott, and the acquisitions are old and expensive. If they even have a season next year, I’d be a seller if they are scuffling along as wild card hopefuls.

They have a run diff of zero after 120 games. It’s amazing they’re in wildcard contention. Nothing about this roster says they’re close to being contenders.

And it was all predictable coming into the season. They did almost nothing to upgrade an aging roster that had been declining for a few seasons.

Extending Dombrowski would be nuts. They need a different type of GM to reset and prep for their next era.

My only guess is they wanted to have the force play available at home. But dang, walking Bohm was a head scratcher.
