    Wow I didn't realize that ! It always seems like he's terrible when he goes out there

    I just don't feel good with a 1 run lead and Giles going in :(

    Agree that his stuff seems like it has declined. I would choose Harris for the 8th. But I'd be fine with Gregerson on the same level as *current* Devo and Clippard for the 7th, typically. Ideally Devo separates himself a ton from those two, and soon.

    I don't care if he had a good outing just yesterday but every time I watch him he's just sucks.

    So you've watched 5 of his 27 appearances since June 1..at most? Not many games you're watching these days.

    5 runs on 14 hits- we need to cash some of these in.

    The player that deserves a shot is Lazarus Musgrove, he isn't the same pitcher when he is throwing 95-96 instead of 90-91. At some point he deserves a shot to set up Giles.

    He's pitched better with 1 run leads than he has with 3+ run leads.

    I'll agree, but have a hard time seeing them go that route. Perhaps if he's still going this well when rosters expand? But still hard to see them making a change this late in the season that results in a young SP as a setup man in the playoffs.

    Fisher is going to be an awesome pinch runner in the postseason.

    They claim to have fixed that by adding more green paint and removed some ads

    I would agree with you but one thing that sticks in my head was Keith Law saying that the Astros were looking hard before the deadline for a reliever or two that wasn't just effective but had dominant stuff.... and then about a week later Luhnow made a comment about dominant stuff mattering more in the playoffs. The two guys in the pen with dominant stuff is Martes and Musgrove.
