We really don't have any more relievers.   We've used Yaco, Armstrong, Fry, Givens, and Castro tonight (and it's Castro's 2nd day in a row).  Bleier pitched Tuesday and Wednesday.   Ynoa and Scott each went 1.2 innings yesterday (28 and 24 pitches).

Castro for the 10th and 11th.   If it goes 12 I think we are likely to pitch a position player.   Probably Davis.

The Angels BP is thin too. They burned through a lot during the freeway series.

Bleier's up next, I would think. But I think Castro's likely to be in there until the game is won or lost.

Think he'd use Bleier 3 days in a row?

Only if absolutely necessary, but before Davis or Wilkerson. I think it's Castro's game.

Nasty!!

[spiritof66]

Nice work by Castro . . . so far.

Bleier coming in.

[Spl51]

Why is Richard Bleier still on this team?

Both managers' bullpen use in the next couple of games will be interesting. (I don't know who in the Angels' pen has an option.)

[Chavez Ravine]

That worked...for now.

That's what they get payed the big bucks for.

[spiritof66]

Well, that was efficient.

We need to score this inning to avoid having Bleier face Trout (other than by losing the game in the 12th).

Whatever Hyde gets, I think it's more in the nature of combat pay.

Canning, the Angels starter tomorrow, is stretching.
