Gunnar loves the unassisted double play. 

Almost cost him on that one.

Burnes probably done but maybe he starts the 7th.

Webb up

Sure did. Luckily it didn’t 

[Just Regular]

Navigating all these games in all these days, this kind of is a garden variety scenario if Irvin can protect all seven of his reliever teammates today.

Though I see Jacob Webb up so I guess Hyde's playing it straight.

here comes the ominous sixth inning...I dont see Burnes finishing the 6th..and this is the problem with our starters,,,they cant go deep...

Or Hyde won't let them go deep.  You can't starters after 70 or 80 pitches w a 7 man bullpen.

wonder if hes related to Don Money

Don Money is the answer to two Philadelphia sports history trivia questions.

1. Who hit the first home run at Veterans Stadium?

2. Who was Mike Schmidt's predecessor as third baseman for the Phillies?

[Morgan423]

I'm actually really hoping that Kirby can give them at least one more inning today.  The fresher the Mariners bullpen is when they roll into New York tomorrow, the better.

Webb didnt pitch last night...

[Billy F-Face3]

Lol I was thinking the same thing as jim after than chin ball.

His pitch counts this year:  82-100-90-98-89-97-95-95-85 (average 93).

He's at 93 now.

So chances are they won't have him go over 100.  So we are looking at maybe one more batter if he did come back out.

Is it worth it to get one more batter out of him?   When that opens the possibility of bringing Webb or whoever in with a man on base instead of with a clean inning?

I'd lean against it.  If there was a chance of him completing the inning and still staying at 100 or less I'd be in favor.   But that seems unlikely.   Or if there was a righty due, and then a couple lefties, and you had a lefty ready to come in.   But that's not in the case.   R-R-R due for Seattle.

The more games the pen blows, the more Elias will be compelled to fix it.
