00:00Ladies and gentlemen, it is a shame when an otherwise fantastic weekend is spoiled by something at the end

00:06And I don't mean the loss at the end that's going to happen from time to time

00:11Matter of fact, it's going to happen for a great team about 60 times a season. I accept that I got no problem with that

00:17It was the decision by Rob Thompson yesterday to not use

00:22Bryce Harper or JT in the ninth inning

00:24It was the decision that to me in many ways spoiled the weekend like a bunch of rotten eggs

00:29Let's just rewind this for a second

01:20Well, you got this seven-game lead over the Braves

01:24You got a half a game lead over the Dodgers for home field advantage

01:27You also have and this has really gotten really close. You've got a one-game lead on the Milwaukee Browers

01:35For what if you go behind the Dodgers and behind the Browers you're now in the wild-card round of the postseason

01:41Like that is suboptimal. All right, so I want to hear from everyone at two one five five nine two

01:4794 94 if you think I'm right that we have a a a justified gripe. Let's rock and roll
