I'd want my best option to get the win here.

Lock it down worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

A team with a 4 run lead in the 9th has something like a 98.7% chance to win the game.   Maybe Givens bumps it to 99.1% and a lesser reliever knocks it down to 98.1%.

So using the guy who is ostensibly your best reliever to increase the chances of winning by 1%, but making him unavailable tomorrow in a game in which several other relievers are unavailable... does not seem wise to me.

He just needs to field. 

Worry about bat next year.  

He wasn't great with the glove either...

Yeah, it’s got that Jughead beat.

Pew! That's way gone!

I’m not sure I like bringing Bleier in here.    (And Tulo homers as I’m writing this.)

A lefty vs that lineup though.

I agree with your math.

I'd still run Givens back out.

After they get one in the win column I'd play it your way.

Hope this works. 

Who backs up Bleier ?

Looks like Hyde believes in the Win rule. 

That remains to be seen.

Here we go.  

[Aristotelian]

I have the utmost confidence in Bleier.

[eddie83]

Once again. A lefty vs that lineup.

Good you do.

It wouldn't be the Orioles vs the Yankees without making it a nailbiter and without our closer pooping the bed.
