    I thought Javier is available today. We will probably need him today.

    He got the 1 out in the 7th. Shouldn't have pushed their luck .

    James should not pitch today. Shoulda put in mccullers or framber for an inning or 2 if you have to. James should not be on the playoff roster.

    i was praying that he would not come in in a close game. Was so hoping this scenario wouldnt happen.

    Is JJ the curse of Ken Giles?

    Going through lots of pitchers. Pressly for 8th and 9th. If it goes to extras, Javier the rest of the way? Unless the game goes much longer?

    Welp, it’s tough as it is to score on TB, so we need Pressly to be dominant like he used to be, for the next 4 outs.

    After pitching yesterday he can probably only go 2. If the game were to get prolonged they would be forced to burn Framber.

    Are you all really more confident in Pressly here and the 9th than James? Sad that our veteran pitchers gives us the most doubt.
