How early would you go to the pen tonight?

Great job by Gallardo. You can't deny that.

O'Day with a seven run lead?

I think he needed to get some work. It had been a week since he pitched.

And yes, great job by Yovani tonight in some ugly conditions.

Good to see I still have the jinx magic on here. That was biggest idea behind starting the thread.

Hey, the question still applies for Miley tonight. Worley standing by.

A quicker hook? Because of the magnitude of each late-season game and the luxury of baseball's expanded rosters, Showalter acknowledged that he might have a tighter leash on his starting pitchers if they struggle early this weekend.

"Nothing's business as usual," Showalter said. "It also depends on who it is and how they've been pitching. … Every situation is different. You don't just paint with a broad brush. The other team usually gives you a good idea of how your guy's doing and if you think they're going to get back on task. “But I don't think there’s a blueprint, that if this guy gets two on in the first inning, he’s out of the game.

"You never know when there's a hitter or two from him getting on step and throwing seven shutout innings. You've got to be careful with that. We're fortunate to have guys with good track records pitching in games like this."
