Well, let's hope Baustita doesn't cause us a heart attack here.

Hyde does know the season is 162 games right?

[maybenxtyr]

It's hard to argue with the record, but Hyde will burn a BP to the ground if given a chance.

Is he really warming him up? Why can't he just use Cano and say in the post-game presser that he simply doesn't want to run FB into the ground? There must be something in these manager or closer contracts that make them slaves to the save rule.

The modern managers say they don't care about saves, but the way most of them act, the save is more important than the win.  Bautista is like Hyde's blanky.  It's like he doesn't know what to do in a save situation w/o Bautista.  Overwork him and Hyde is going to find out.

He does that a lot. Usually it’s not an up and in fastball, however.

Bad luck swinging at ball 4 there. 

An all too common occurrence with Mountcastle.

[maybenxtyr]

Cano threw 6 pitches. 

[mrbig1]

No way in hell can Baustista get a 1-2-3 ninth.

[Moose Milligan]

Oh lord here we go with Bautista. Wonder if he airmails one over Adley this time out. 

[Mooreisbetter27]

Oh good. He’s overcompensating so now everything is going down. 

[Billy F-Face3]

I think it's basically the consensus opinion on this message board that we had hoped we wouldn't have to use Bautista today (or Tommorow). We wanted to give him some rest. But here we go. Hold on tight and hope for the best.

Enfocar, Felix. Felix Vamos!
