Well, flushing bases loaded, nobody out in the 8th, down the toilet means you've burned Javier completely. You have to leave him in to try and finish this off.

That would leave you LMJ, Urquidy and Pressley to piece together 9 innings tomorrow.

You can throw strikes without grooving one down the middle, thigh high.

That's what happens when you "just throw strikes". These guys are major league hitters that hit "fat" pitches.


When you're up by 5 runs, a solo Home run is ab acceptable alternative to a blow up inning due to walks
so you would have been OK with two solo home runs? Great. Next.


I would be more ok with that. A walk and a blast is the start of a rally and some confidence.

Having to use Javier and presale because we couldn't score a single run with the bases loaded and no outs is ****ing terrible.

The likelihood of two home runs in a given inning is much lower than one

Walks just compound the problem. With a large lead and depleted pen we need to avoid walks as much as possible

I think we'd both be OK with more quality strikes and less walks...But I don't think two solo shots hurts less than a walk and a home run. Runs are runs.

One thing I'd like to see is Arozarena to not bat again. If he does bat, I'd prefer only one runner to be on base.

I guess it comes down to who you want available tomorrow. Use Pressley tonight and surely he's down tomorrow but I guess Javier could come back. I'd leave this to Javier since he's already in the game and hopefully that gives you a Pressley that's in better shape for tomorrow

With the rest days between the ALCS and the WS, you better believe everyone is on deck.

They will be looking for base runners. Throw strikes. Play defense.
