its opening day, masterson was dominating, he should have never been taken out of this game.

Acta is a fucktard.

I think every manager would make the same call. Chris Perez is your closer with a 3 run lead. Not Acta's fault he blows dick.

If Masterson was at 89, 90 pitches, then he probably comes back out.

The one thing Acta or Santana should get blame for is never making a visit to the mound.

This. I can't stand Manny Acta. Perez should have had the hook after the first 2 batters. Masterson needs to beat the sgit out of both of them.

Completely ridiculous.

Masterson should punch Peres in the face when he gets to the dugout for squandering a masterful performance.

I will take some of these.

Masterson should punch you in the face too. You really need to punch yourself in the nuts. You should have known better to say stupid shit like that.

Pitching coach needs to come out when the tying run got on.

i actually agree with you. Acta should have grown some balls and set the tone from day 1 that he isnt going to put up with bullshit pitching like that.

Is there an unwritten rule that you have to leave in your closer until the lead is blown? Add to that, the guy has only thrown a couple innings this spring. Acta blows...end of story.

They haven't touched Masterson all game. Let him start the game till he lets someone on. Especially when Batista was the 3rd guy up. Perez should have been out when Batista was up

Especially with an extra day of rest since they are taking the day off tomorrow. SMFH.

They should trade Perez and let Pestano close.

As for this game, Acta obviously left Perez in too long and they never made a mound visit to settle his dumbass down.

However, people are going to bitch regardless of the scenario. If Masterson was left in and give it up, people would bitch that he should have never came back out because he was at 99 pitches.

Chris Perez sucks and I've never been that high on him as a closer. I want a closer who doesn't nearly give away every fucking game he's in.

You can't let a starter go past 100 pitches on start #1. Arms isn't stroh enough for that. All spring they work to get to the 100 pitch count for today. Later on in the year yes, but not today.

However, Peatano should've gotten a shot with Perez sucking and not having pitched all spring off an injury.

Bingo. Solid post overall, but the bolded part is 100% on. That's the gripe people should have with Acta, not that he removed Masterson.

Every time Perez enters a game I think that we're f#cked.

I have nevere once thought "Here comes the rage, we got this one"

The guy makes me nervous as hell
