This is the third loss (don't worry, it'll happen) that can directly be attributed to Hillman. Unbelievable.

Well, I think Terry Francona is the only manager that would go to his best reliever in that situation.

Unfortunately. :(

RJ with a no-no into the 7th in San Fran.

The Rangers just put their closer in in the 9th in a tie game. Hillman is probably crying because he thinks the Rangers are cheating by doing that.

As soon as I start listening to it on Gameday Audio, Ojeda breaks it up.

DAMMIT!

Guess I did jinx him. Leadoff double. :(

I'm e-mailing RJ right now to let him know what you two did. Gonna be trouble!

OFG i feel in pain for your Nationals, especially when they play the Marlins

Tie game into the 9th. Who does Hillman go to? Best pitcher? Nope, put in Farnsworth.

Two pitches later, game over.

SURPRISE!!!

Wow. That is just absolutely incredible.

Royals online community is going batsh*t insane right now.

This is the third loss that can directly be attributed to Hillman. God, our team has been playing so well, but our manager is actively making moves to hurt our chances of winning..and doing it a lot. There are too many mistakes to even name.

Yep. This is absolutely batshit insane. There is absolutely no ****ing reason to use KYLE FARNSWORTH, the man who gives up home runs by the boatloads, in a TIE GAME IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH AGAINST THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE'S BEST OFFENSE'S ORDER when you have one of the BEST relievers in the business at your disposal.

Okay, now I'm raging.

There better absolutely be a reason that the Giants just removed Randy Johnson from the game. He was absolutely cruising, and had thrown just 73 pitches through 7 innings.

I'm not sure which sucks more. Having a decent bullpen and having a terrible manager or having a bad bullpen and having your manager consistently use Miguel Batista :-\

Has Hillman defended his choice yet? i would be interested to know WHY. It wasn't like he had to use him becuase he is a righty, or because he has a great history against any paticular hitter.....all this is doing is making Farnsworth look worse then he really is....he is the guy you can give the ball to win you have a big lead or are being killed...period
