    Wow...we were extremely fortunate to be able to finish that one out. The Rays are a pretty tough team. But, so is every team in the playoffs or they wouldn't be there.

    Also nice hustle from Harris to get to 1st. He could have easily stood still thinking Gurriel would field it and run to 1st for the out.

    Yeah, Osuna is not a multiple inning closer, if you’re going to continue using him to close, it’s gotta be 1 inning.

    I'm not worried about who should be the closer. I'm more worried about all these squandered RISP opportunities. Next game let's get a big enough lead that we don't have to wonder which pitcher can finish the game for us.

    No one should ever assume Gurriel will run to first base.

    I admire those of you who could watch that live as it unfolded. I had to turn it off and do a little off/on anxious scoreboard watching. Then, I went back to rewind and watch the ending. lol

    Lock Osuna in the clubhouse and don't let him out till the series is over. He just totally lost it.

    I really wished AJ does what Max did for the Nationals. Don't go conventional or we are booked in a short series.

    He's done well in the limited opportunities we gave him this regular season.

    Regardless of his role with us in the future, reward him with a contract of, say, 2/16. This is coming from someone who wanted to non-tender him last offseason, he has saved our butts so many times this year.

    Do closers usually have to throw in 2 innings? He got 3 big outs before he had to get up again.

    Gonna be a sweep boys. Get the brooms out. I’m sorry it has to come against Charlie Morton, but so be it.
