Probably the worst half inning I have ever witnessed as Cruz and Leiter combined to give up eight runs and didn’t get a single out now 11-2 Tigers

1. Volpe

2. Dude just walk away. The Volpe bunt should have convinced you to turn it off

3. DAAAAAA YANKEES ARE BACK

4. This was absolutely terrible but surely the meltdown in the World Series was worse.  

   I at least turned this one off after it was 6-2 but felt obligated to watch the whole World Series disaster 

5. Well, shit.

6. We are so back.

7. This is giving me flashbacks from the WS. Just put it in play. Seriously, how difficult is it to bunt, I’d think if you were struggling you’d work a bit harder on fundamentals

8. No joke, Cruz ERA went up by 1 lol

9. This is up there but def not worse than the World Series debacle.

10. And just like that all hell breaks loose.

11. Is there a reason Leiter wasnt let go around the trade deadline? He hasn’t done anything worth watching for a very long time

12. Why did Boone keep Cruz in there when he clearly didn’t have it today? Master procrastinator.

13. Cruz didn’t have it at all. Damn. 

14. ive never seen anything this bad. even is TEEBALL

15. Time for a nice scotch malt or two. This games over.

16. It’s cool to think that I could have done that

17. I’m worried about even getting a single win in the playoffs with this bullpen in this state.

18. I wish I could find the post. Some dude posted that he couldn’t take watching Leiter all season back in like April. Then a month later a different Redditor tried to dunk on him by calling them out, showing how great Leiter had been for like….a month. Mark Leiter Jr. Is and always will be a trash pitcher.

19. I turned it off after the bad strike call on Rice to end the inning. Sometimes you just know

20. It was 2-2 when I got up.

    When I came back, it was – – – this!!

21. Well shit. They really don’t want to make September easy on themselves huh

22. Only 4 hits too 🙁

23. A # 1 dogshit.

    Win the next two and put this embarrassment in the rear view.

24. I rarely get to see the yanks live and this how they do me? Terrible

25. McMahon now? We broke him already?

26. I turned the game on in the 7th when Cruz already had bases loaded with no outs.

    Did Warren go 6? What was his pitch count?
    It seems like there’s this default philosophy of letting the starter go 6 and then going to the pigpen. Why can’t we let starting pitchers work into late innings? We know what kind of stink the pigpen is capable of.

27. pretty sure we’ve seen a worse half inning brother

28. That inning hurt to watch.

    And now Toronto is in extra innings. 🤦‍♀️

29. How Leiter is still on our roster is beyond me

30. That Volpe throw lmao

31. I swear the Braves have done something akin to this at least 3 times this year.

32. Should have left Leiter in to finish the game so the bullpen wouldn’t be wasted. After the game they should then give Leiter his unconditional release 👍
