If they hadn't blown the 6 run lead then we wouldn't even be talking about this. I don't blame or hate Suzuki. If we miss the postseason, it's on Ross more than anyone, and not because he didn't have PCA in (I agree with funk that Seiya would've waved him off too so it wouldn't have made a difference). He's just been a shitty manager all year, and even when we had that insane winstreak, it still felt like we were winning despite his dumbass decisions. Every single game we've played this year matters now, and when you look at all the close games we lost over the course of the season (and there have been a shitload of close losses), there's no doubt in my mind that at least a couple of those should've been wins, and that we would be coasting into the postseason with a more competent manager.
But yeah, even so, this bullpen is far from playoff caliber. I'm honestly surprised it's held up this much.
Playing the Braves feels like playing against Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl. We would need a cheat code to get anywhere in the playoffs.
