This is a save situation.

Seriously guy....throw the ball in a hittable area, don't let this become a game again, you have one job.

I'd rather Ruiz walk in a run than give up a slam

I generally dislike 8th innings this season.

Ruiz is not a high leverage pitcher, that much is clear.

This wasn't even high leverage. Our win probability is still 98.5%, even after the walk.

This was the perfect situation to use Ruiz and he completely shits the bed. Now we gotta go to Liam. 

At least Liam can pitch today and tomorrow if needed. We get a long break too.

Can't give up a slam, if you don't walk 2 guys before that. Just pipe it instead of walking dudes, its 8-2. (Was).

Wow he had zero chance

Kid had no shot against Liam, tough spot to come into the game for McKenna

eh, that was okay liam

Nasty

GAS

That poor kid didn't have a chance.

Good afternoon, good morning and good night!

Takin' care of business.

I love Liam's emotion out there. Very genuine and shows he really cares about winning.

I get that, but if he can't come in with a 6 run lead and get the job done, I don't want him anywhere near a game that's up in the air.

Balls! 8-3

What if I told you, Brian Goodwin was hitting .282.....

4 hits for Goodwin. 

Brian Goodwin has a 147 wRC+ lol

That senile old fart doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing batting Goodwin cleanup. Send him down to manage the AA team.

.912 OPS is far more impressive.

But he shouldn't bat clean up

Leury can get his wRC+ over 100 here with a double.
