Fb near middle, and Siri inexplicably takes it, 0-1 FB outside, 1-0 Cutter on his hands, jammed and fouled off, 1-2 AND THERE IT IS. Idiot move by Boone, leaving Ferguson in there FB outside corner above the waist, and he turns on it and belts it out to left, grand slam makes it a 6-4 game. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Why wasn't Burdi pitching against the left hander? BaBoone strikes again.

Ok, let's see here... He's given up two hits already. He's facing his 4th batter, a lefty and WALKS HIM ON 4 PITCHES. The bases are now loaded, and a struggling righty who can't hit righties, but has outstanding power is on deck They NEED a grand slam to get back in the game. You have a righty reliever warming for at least two batters... AND YOUR DECISION IS TO LEAVE IN THE STRUGGLING LEFTY TO FACE THE POWER HITTING RIGHTY?
I'm sorry, I don't usually jump ugly on in-game decisions, but that one was OBVIOUS.

Worst performance of the season for Ferguson. Can't get much worse.

Nope Burdi. Burdi and Berti are combining their forces and names.

Burdi gets ahead of Diaz 0-2, then misses badly outside with the next four pitches, and the Rays bring Lowe at the tying run. This almost certainly never happens if Boone brings Burdi for Siri.

Yes it can, if the relievers fall apart. One out walk right after the slam... walk number two.. Mice Burdi

Just horrible. Not sure why Boone didn't go batter to batter with Gil in the seventh.

FB inside, 1-0 Fb down and in, ball 5 FB misses up and away, ball 7 Doesn't matter what the bullpen budget is, Boone is trapped, Burdi must pitch to Lowe and Arozarena. Game might be lost before Weaver can get into it. FB down the middle, 3-1 FB outside chased, 3-2. Flies open on the FB misses outside, ball 4 Back to back walks bring the go-ahead run to the plate with Arozarena, and even if they get him, the very dangerous Paredes is on deck, and they'd have to be unusually lucky to get a DP from Arozarena to avoid Paredes.

Swings under a FB at the top at 97. Slider down and in, 1-1 Missed by the whole plate, was supposed to be outside. Slider outside, topped foul off 3rd, 1-2 Slider backs up inside and hits Arozarena when he was ahead on the count 1-2.
Don't say anything, Boone, you've EARNED this. Bases loaded, 1 out, and Weaver will face a stern test as a setup man, facing the clutch Paredes with the go-ahead run now on 1st with just 2 out.
