Akin, Vespi? Don’t like being without Bautista for next game, but gotta win this one.

Exactly. You gotta give him a shot.

The plan was it was going to be Hall in this spot.  Unfortunately, they found out he isn’t ready.  Now we have to scrounge until he gets ready. 

I don’t think they were counting on Hall pitching the 9th ever.   He might have been 6 or 7th guy but you don’t throw starter into closer role in major leagues with no experience.

He just called that a strike???

And he’s had to swing at balls outside the zone ever since.

I remember seeing this in theaters as a kid and legit having a heart attack during this scene. Kind of last the last inning!

Take it easy on the coffee, Dave

Not that I think it’s going to matter; but if we win this game we win the tiebreaker over the White Sox.

Righty Rutschman is still good. But not as good as lefty Rutschman. 
 

I know you guys bag on Dave Johnson but I kinda like him. 

[Hank Scorpio]

These two boneheads are having comedy hour.

Three RHB's coming up. Hate to say it, Head or Bautista probably make the most sense.

There’s no way LaRussa remembers Jimenez getting hit by the time tomorrows game starts. 

On of the catering people at OPACY should get La Russa a bottle of Jack Daniels for the postgame.

He actually hasn’t missed too many. That was awful. Small zone but has been pretty consistent.

7th or 8th.  Agree not ninth.

He's good when he's telling a yarn from back in the day. When he's trying to provide any sort of insight...enh...
