Roycroft is as tall as he is bad.

[dmarx114]

Roycroft isn't good enough to justify a roster spot. Has to be someone better.

[Radbird]

Taylor swipes 2nd giving Merrill a RISP

[booger71]

Can we send Roycroft packing for Japan yet?

[heyzeus]

Hindsight etc etc but after some longer starts the last few days, wasn't anyone better available to pitch the 8th and 9th in a 2 run game?

[Radbird]

Merrill blows it open with a 2-run blast to make it 6-1.

Oli asks for crew chief review challenging that it was fair

[Radbird]

Seems like Roycroft’s sole purpose was to chip away at our run differential.

Hindsight etc etc but after some longer starts the last few days, wasn't anyone better available to pitch the 8th and 9th in a 2 run game?

Oh, there is no hindsight. This was obvious in real time that Oli was making a huge blunder.

Max Rajcic, who we switched to a relief role this year at AAA, has been great there
