    Like everyone else is saying, Chas isn't good enough to be ph for anybody this year, should have stayed with Singleton. Singleton would have had a much more competitive ab than that.

    Pinch hitting after sitting for a week is easy

    Yeah, if he’s not being traded he needs to be in SL until he proves he can hit again. He’s had WAY too many ABs look exactly like that one this year.

    Pinch hitting Singleton there just feels like quintessential over-managing.

    Sometimes, I think managers make changes just so they look like geniuses when it actually turns out okay.

    Chas is not one of those guys you do that with, rather had Singleton drawing a walk.

    Welp I thought that was a pretty dumb decision to pinch hit Chas

    Swinging strike 2 was ****ing comical. A foot or more outside.

    Decisions like this are why Espada is so garbage in 1-run games.....

    Chase is hitting .125 ine th last 25 at-bat, GJ Manager Jose Espada. They should make a McCormick bobble head that would shake sideways.

    Obviously pressing. Trying to make something happen with his one chance.

    Not a terrible decision, just terrible execution and result

    Everyone complaining he should have left Singleton in…Saucedo absolutely destroys left handed batters.
