No idea how you don't make Dyson run there, no matter what. Either he gets in scoring position, or he starts the 10th (if we get there) on base.

This playing is safe and trying to not lose a game is going to get you to lose the game. Either way the bottom of the 9th has to be played if you score there or not. Gotta have faith the pen can do the job in that situation 

If this goes to extras, do you have Robert bunt?  I say yes

Think about this decision making when RR is there in spring training.

If we get swept, 7th place seems just as likely as 4th

True. I was trying to give the team some kind of benefit of the doubt tho 

Only 6 pitches for Colome. 

GIVE ME SOME RALLY ENGEL

Easy inning. Let's get this run in

Does he know how to bunt? 

That was the best thing to happen all game aside from Jose and Lopez. 1–2-3 like butter.

We gotta score in the top. Colome's not really a strikeout guy, so having a guy on 2nd to start probably means a run.

Then we'd either have to go to Oakland or play the Twins in Minny. Neither are gonna be good matchups. 

Who is a good matchup? It's the playoffs. Teams are good

Hands down you have him bunt if he can lay it down. Either way you are gonna be in an 0-2 count more than likely anyways with the way he’s swinging it.

Maybe it will force him to actually try to hit the ball to right (and not his usual pop up)

Might as well.  Give Engel and Madrigal a shot at an rbi.

The Blue Jays have no starting pitching. The Astros are a .500 team. I'd rather play those 2 teams than real contenders like the rest of the playoff field. 

I concur with fathom. 

FUCK YOU ANGEL

ARE YOU KIDDING

This fking strike zone.

6 inches off the goddamn plate 

Is he kidding me with that strike

Fuck Angel
