Well that was satisfying. A few bumps in the road but all's well that ends well.

That would be good. I don't like the Jose who swings at all the out of zone crap.

We sure will have the DH covered with Jose, Vaughn, Collins and Eloy.

Abreu looked totally under control during that at bat. Haven't seen much of that Jose in quite a while.

That was the first really good at bat in what seems like a month.

Gotta remember that saves don't matter.

Yeeeesssss.

Well...apparently it's not over until the fat lady sings.

And let Sale wiggle off the hook for the loss.

Another reason Madrigal will be a welcome addition. He is always lauded for his on field acumen and high baseball IQ. McCann is also in that group. Well...that's all the high baseball IQ players I can think of on the WS.

Probably only gotten one out.

This is also true.

Agreed. He gives his team a ton of flexibility.

Quality start for Lopez. Who would a thunk it?

He and Rondon both have both looked good defensively. Maybe Timmy can play right field.

EzPezee.

Sale probably bought himself another inning with that fast 6th.

Yikes...a fast inning for Lopez. His usual 6th inning problems should be coming up shortly.

Sale with 89 pitches through 5. One more inning should do it I would hope.

84 pitches through 4. Ricky will certainly try to get him through 5 for a chance for the win. Should be short leash time.

Just an observation...Lopez seems to pitch without emotion.

I tend to agree.

I am wondering if Cooper still has the magic touch.

No lead is safe...that's for sure.

I was referring to mgr. saying one can't have a top flight pen with one guy.
