I understand McDermott is likely starting tomorrow, but why do they have Irvin in the BP if they’re not using him in this game? Surely you are expecting McDermott to pitch longer than Suarez did today, otherwise why would you even be starting him? 

To back him up. Have to send down someone anyway after tonight. You may hope he goes deeper. Who knows though.

I cant see the game..Westburg was hurt? How bad?

This is not in response to this....but Nardi didn't even break a sweat.

The one time I visited Miami I walked to some Columbian place for lunch. By the time I got there I was experiencing heat stroke. They gave me A limonada de coco and looked at me like I was a fool.

Burch & Nittoli. 

Sounds like a shady law firm

Left elbow pain for Mateo. That's descriptive. Hope he's okay

Looked like "Lower arm disconnected from upper arm"

Smith and Nitolli making it difficult for Elias to decide who gets sent out tomorrow for McDermott

A few innings too late, but trusting Akin with runners on didn’t really pay off. He just doesn’t have the stuff to get out of those kinds of situations without allowing at least 2.

Yanks down 3-1.

Great. Doesn't look like we'll take advantage though.

Nittoli doesn’t have options, but Smith does. That said, Baker has options, too. So one of those.

Who would you like Hyde to get up in the 3rd inning? The second run Gordon threw his bat at it.

Way this game is going I’m looking for any good news. Ugly game. Annoying.

I don’t have an answer, just pointing out it’s inevitable with Akin.
