Went to tonight's game. Collins' bullpen decisions are so fucking bad and have been throughout his tenure. Jon Niese had a shit outing. 5 innings, 6 runs. Bleh. But then they came fighting back. Kelly Johnson with a big pinch hit double, and Cespedes with a 2-run bomb. 6-4. Great, you've pulled closer. So now you try to bring in one of your few reliable arms to hold the deficit, right?
Wrong. Apparently you put in Bobby Parnell and his 5.66 ERA, fresh off a DL stint that was pretty much made up just so he could sort out his command issues. First batter: walk. Second batter: walk. Third batter: sacrifice bunt that Parnell throws over the first baseman's head. Eric O'Flaherty comes in with 2 men on and still no outs. Walk. Carlos Torres comes in bases loaded no outs and just gets eviscerated. And before you know it it's 14-4 Phillies. What the shit.
Worst inning I've ever seen in person lol. And then of course the 3 relievers the Mets use to finish the game combined for 3 perfect frames as the team lost 14-8, aka enough runs to overcome the initial 6-run deficit. Fucking moron.
