I can't understand why Hyde is still batting Santander so high in the order?

The bigger question is why is O'Hearn batting cleanup. Santander is actually hitting right now, despite his ABs tonight, I mean he did get one of our 6 hits tonight, but yeah who is better for the 3rd spot?

[Moose Milligan]

I didn’t know Cano has only struck out 3 of his last 30. That’s not good.

Absolutely pathetic that a starter can't finish a 1-0 shutout with a 101 pitch count.  I continue to be amazed how the pitchers are handled in the modern game.  Let's just say Walter Johnson's shutout record is safe.

He has pitched more innings than he ever has in his life.  Why would you risk it when you know you are in the playoffs?

Yeah, I believe OHearn is 2 for his last 21

Gausman just got out of a second and third no one out jam against the NYY. 0-0 in the bottom of the 7th.

Love the aggression.  Gunnar made it close.  The pitch was just conducive to the tag.

Yeah, makes good sense to risk injury for your best pitcher right before the playoffs. Shockingly bad takes from people who supposedly know baseball as well as they think.

They have changed Cano’s pitch mix. He is pitching up in the zone now some. Less predictable. 

[Billy F-Face3]

Cano is much better tonight!
