Two things.  Tony needs to give heuer that inning clean.  Kopech should get the 8th.

Insurance Runs Please 

Hamilton can throw a little...you usually expect speedsters to have noodle arms.  No Ichiro rifle, but he got the job done.

Don’t know how they can trust either right now. Would be okay with Kopech for an inning tbh

With Lynn a question mark and who knows what’s up with Giolito, I’m sure they’re saving him

What a terrible send lmao. Even Billy Hamilton can throw you out on that.

Nothing wrong with Billy's arm.

Great defensive switch getting Vaughn out of there

Sucks because he’s the only other reliable guy outside of Hendriks rn

Codi still giving up alot of hits...got lucky there.

He made a good pitch on the previous batter.  Just unlucky hit.

Yeah, he came up as a middle infielder IIRC. Speed and throwing arm are his only tools which is why I never got the hype around him as a prospect 

He's not gonna send Codi back out there for the 8th again, right?

He has a good arm 

I always thought he couldn't throw. That makes the send seem even worse.

this offense has been brutal tonight.

Way too easy

Yeah you don’t want to take the bat out of Gallo’s hands...especially on the road, and Heuer on the ropes.

Beasley must have thought he was actually the runner from his playing days.

why not?  him or kopech I'd be fine with.

That was fast

I would feel better about this game if we had 2020 Bummer and Crochet

Brutal offensive stretches, but makes for a much faster game...

Can Cooper come back to work with the bullpen? Just keep him away from the starters please.

I agree I'd be fine with Kopech.

I think Heuer's confidence in the sinker has waned a bit, as it's gotten hit hard recently. Guys are probably sitting on it. Him hanging sliders isn't gonna help with that though.

He’s throws harder than Crochet know

Heuer hasn't been good going multiple innings this year so far.  I actually agree with you though.  Why not.

Ok Bummer, be your 2020 version please.

They haven’t put him in that situation yet this year...eighth inning, one run lead...or two for that matter.

Might be Crochet.  Bummer would have been the guy a year ago.
