9/3 Rubber game against the Dbacks.

[Roy Firestone]

ill go on record now and say Lopez here is NOT a good move...first..he just got back with the team...and most importantly he has NOT pitched well for anyone this year..Hyde has to give him 3 batters..

One other thing about "taking a chance" by bringing Jorge in here ... in certain situations you might be concerned because if he gives up a few runs and makes it close, that would force us to use Cano.

But Yennier hasn't pitched in 5 days and we probably are going to use him in the 9th anyway just because you don't want him to go too long without pitching.   So if the worst case with Lopez does happen, it wouldn't force us to do anything we weren't going to do anyway.

Lopez coming in, they better have fixed him.

I wonder what they could have done in the short time after signing him and him pitching today that would have "fixed him".

Lopez have a clean inning or do we give some runs back?

I say neither.

He gives up a hit or a walk or two, but no runs.

I know.  He's been awful and I don't get putting him in a close game.  I'm trying to find some reason for it to make sense.

Welp. Not a great start.

And like clockwork..

It doesn't. Cano should be in. He hasn't pitched in a while.

[CynBeth]

We are going to allow them to come back and win.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Come on Lopie. You’re pitching for the best team in the AL now.

Cano will be in next inning.

Relax, it's a four run lead.
