Wtf JD?

[chockfullofgoodness]

A rare Donaldson error.

[chockfullofgoodness]

Whew.

How does Navarros batting helmet look so bad? Its his first game back.

2 hits for him. And he scores from first!

[puffnstuff]

Saunders!

[chockfullofgoodness]

I swear I was just saying that I'm starting to feel confident again when Saunders is at the plate.

Way to be useless again Cecil!

[JiriHrdina]

Random ump is random.
Bring on the robots.

Thankful for Feldman there. I'm not even Sure why Ginby tries
To matchup anymore with Cecil. The guy is flat out done.

Non-save, do not bring in Osuna.

playing a rival you're battling for a playoff spot? Bring in Osuna.

[TheAlpineOracle]

I really don't like Johnathan Schoop.

[puffnstuff]

Osuna likes closer games.

[Vulcan]

That got a little tense.

I like Osuna but he isn't one of those closers where you put him in the 9th and it's a done deal. I always feel like he gets the save but he rarely goes 3 up, 3 down. Always seems to put someone on base...but I just checked his WHIP and it seems pretty good, so I guess it's all in my head?

He struggles with a big lead but is money in actual save situations.

Got your answer in the post game interview, its his helmet from last year. The training staff still had it.

You probably remember the bad or shaky innings more than the smooth ones.

Keep in mind approach is different depending on the lead.
If he's coming in with a 4 run lead, he should be throwing strikes and letting the D behind him get outs.
If he's coming in a tighter game, or when runners are on base - he needs to miss bats.
The worst thing a guy like him can do is come in - walk a bunch of guys when you have a lead. I don't mind if a hit is given up because he's throwing strikes.
