I haven’t really been that nervous today, but I’ll admit the thought of a Colome 9th inning with a three run lead does terrify a bit.  And yes, I know he’s been awesome this year, but that doesn’t make watching him any less stressful.

Colome hasn't given up 3 earned runs the entire season combined. 0.00000% chance he gives up 3 runs here.

Let's do this colome!!

Here we go

Today would be only 3 days rest for him, he pitched on the 25th. 

Here we go!

Three outs away!!

y'all colome has earned this. What has he done this year to say he can't close this out?

The only bad thing about today is the announcer saying Eloy didn’t look so good on the field before the game.

He never looks that good in the field.

All that matters is that he can look good holding a bat.

He absolutely should be out there. That doesn't mean my heart is ready for the Colome show.

Sit back, relax, and watch that cutter do it's work in a GIGANTIC stadium and foul territory

Yeah. Colome is the closer and he has a 3 run lead. This is definitely a situation for him.

I'd feel better with bummer but I can't argue against Colome.  If Colome blows it it's on him.  He's paid to finish these.

This announcer can STFU

Finish this Alex c’mon!!!

They obviously have never watched him field before.

Now that we have the lead in the 9th can the wild card round change to one game please?

Give me outs Alex.....LFG
