Ruiz has 9 pitches. I'd rather he close this out if nobody else is available. To have like 9 guys in the bullpen and having the last 2 guys in the pen throwing high leverage innings in a 1 run game is embarrassing.

Nice job Ruiz. Is Tepera dead? Why is Mike Wright warming to close this game out?

What the flying fuck lmao

There's also an off day tomorrow.

Apparently he can't pitch 3 days in a row despite pitching to 4 guys in the last 2 outings.

I definitely thought that was gone off the bat.

Ruiz is still out there. Oh boy...

Stone laying into Leury for swinging at crap after Grandal just walked on 4 pitches.

Grandal would take 2 hits to score from 2nd lol

Romy probably hits for Gavin.

Might depend on matchups too. If we see Schwarber and Devers in the 9th, Bummer probably gets the 9th.

Fucking around with Devers after you had him 1-2 is what neccesitated Ruiz pitching in this situation.

I think this more or less means that Kimbrel and Hendriks won't be available. Tepera is gonna close.

Jesus Christ, it's Ruiz? Fuck me.

Crochet got lucky af.

I think we could have gotten either Devers or Kopech, but not both along with Yoan.

Terrible pitch selection. You had him looking terrible against the wipeout slider and you throw 3 more fastballs. Stop fucking around.

Missed a chance to throw him a slider on 2-2.

Devers looks like he's got a month's worth of chewing tobacco in his mouth at all times.

That last pitch to Eloy had some insane movement but was right down the middle. He's gotta do more in clear fastball counts. Tony even gave him a 3-0 green light.

Eloy had 2 fastballs to hit and didn't do anything with it.

If Grandal is behind Jose, there's no way he gets pitched around.

Jose is gonna get pitched around.

I wonder who's available in the pen today. I'd think Crochet might get another inning and Tepera would get the 8th.

At least he's a decent bunter. I don't remember him screwing up a sac bunt this year.
