This is why it’s important to control your emotions as a Pitcher.

I know it’s fun to have a guy show his true grit and belly fire but what happened to Herring in the 9th could have been better managed if he would have been able to temper his energy.
Would not have had the hit batter along with at least one of the walks.
In hindsight, Milazzo should have made a much better throw to first and also could have had better effort from Jones receiving a shitty throw, but Herring got them in that spot.
It’s was an ultimate collapse from a team that just couldn’t afford it and needed 2/3 from both series over the next 2 series.
That game should never have been lost against an ok team.
Could have been the nail.
Let’s see how the team responds tomorrow.

No one is admitting that the ball was hit in a tough spot for both pitcher and catcher. Ideally the pitcher charges forward and catcher stays home and pitcher tosses it home for the out but the catcher has to make an effort for the ball there, eliminating that play.
If the pitcher gets there first, that is a really tough play for a lefty to make. It is low percentage. Simultaneously it is tough for the catcher to run with full gear to a ball moving towards the pitcher, pivot, and make an accurate throw with a runner moving down the line.
You are correct. Herring had a bit of a meltdown to load the bases and put them in a position where a wacky play could lose them the game. He needs to be nails there and he was not.

The hit batter was because he did that stupid thing where pitchers look to check the base runner, and then turn to immediately pitch. It’s impossible to aim properly when you’re turning on a dime from second base

I loved that Jay trusted and kept Herring in after he got himself in trouble. Best reliever we have you have to trust it.
I do wish that he would have taken a visit after the second batter was walked and you could see his emotions start to spiral a bit. Then the hit batter, then you know the rest.

Milazzo should’ve let Herring make the routine play instead of waving him off.

The ump was also calling a tight arse zone.
Herring had a pitch right down the middle that was called a ball.
I dont blame the loss on Herring.
He made the pitches to win the game.
