Arm injury for Bautista?

If he has TJ, we have to make a SERIOUS play for Hader. This team functions well with an elite closer. 

Agreed. Our style of play this year only works if you have an elite thrower to close out games.

You don't need to name a replacement closer. You can mix and match. Saves by committee.

Only reason for optimism is that he said arm and not elbow, but I'm grasping at straws.

On the radio call Newman and Garceau implied they thought it was Bautista’s knee or ankle. 

There are going to be a lot of surprised fans who only listened to the radio call when they find this out later. I’ve got a pit in my stomach thinking about this.

Yea I think I would to. 

Too.

And yeah, that seems like he's your lefty closer situation.

There will be "platooning" and "matchuping" and different "closers" if Felix is out.

Trade deadline has passed.

Elias had his chance to add some quality depth.

Yep. They won’t use him to close unless they use a committee though.

Wells could get the role since he has prior history of it..the homer makes that scary though.

Cano will get the first chance but Coloumbe is the most reliable.

I'd let Coulombe close.

He'll close as the #1 LH option.

There will be more of a committee.

Webb to close. Followed by Coulombe. 
 

Hope it’s not serious. Not gonna play the prediction game. 

I do like Webb. He’s a bulldog. He and Cano can handle it for a bit.

I think he’s saying sign Hader in the offseason.

Cano and Coloumbe will platoon it.

It's not going to be for a bit.

I’m not sure I see Hyde doing that. I think he stays with one guy unless Cano needs a rest.

Oh.

I don't see that happening.

It could be many things. Next man up. Who closes? Cano, I guess. 

There is no next man anything close to as good as Bautista. Obviously someone will have to close, but there is an extremely low probability that his replacement will be anywhere near as effective.

Question is will we hear anything else tonight?
