Well.... Who pitches the 9th? 

Bautista.

Unless we score about 10 in the bottom of the 8th.   Then we can go with Hall.

No, I certainly share your feelings. I do feel more confident in him when he starts the 9th inning rather than coming in early.

I'm glad he closed it out. After that one crazy wild pitch I was worried.

His ERA is 1.70 it’s hard to ask for much better from a reliever than that. Not everyone can be 2016 Britton.

People keep mentioning Jorge Julio --and someone else like him whose name I'm blanking on--in comparison to Bautista, but that's sort of the difference.

Benitez was the other guy I was thinking of.

Three hits for Mountcastle!

Ryan's having a nice day

They had the speed gun turned off here at the park when Bautista was pitching.

Vavra for McKenna or Hays if it gets that far?

Nice game for Mountcastle!

2.89 FIP

If only Mountcastle had half of Adley's batting eye when it comes to the strike zone. Mountcastle is a hit machine when he makes good contact.
