Unfortunately Collins and Zavala are up, at least the top of the order will be in the 9th

Yeah, sucks one of our best hitters against RHP is up

We are just happy to be leading the division. No concern about HFA. 

Houston is tough, Boston is adding Sale and TB is on the verge of adding some more pop…they’re really making huge bets on all their players coming back healthy or the market coming back to the buyers over the last 2-3 days before the deadline.

Collins swings to slow . I have doubts if he can catch up to his fastball. 

Don’t know why anyone would throw Collins anything but a fastball here…

You 1000000000000% can't let Seby hit, if Zack gets on.

Because Zavala is on deck.

Bye, bye DH.

Good at bat........and yes you pinch hit Andrew here.

Here comes Vaughn

Do they forfeit the DH?

That was his "decision"? He decided to pop out? In a situation where he shoudln't have been hitting anyway?

Agree. Collins should have been pinched hit for against the lefty.

Well this isn’t the wrong move. Just shows how the lineup backfired.

Vaughn looks pissed

Two innings late, but love the move here!  Well done Tony!

necessary decision, come on Vaughn!

and putting in arguably the 6th best reliever in the pen into a one run game in the 8th.

The last 3 games have been managed as if the division is already clinched and it's the last week of September.

Yeah this is why you don't DH your 2nd catcher without a 3rd one on your bench. 

this is like berrios not being able to throw a strike yesterday

Yes, and its 100% the right move.  Zavala just couldn't be allowed to hit here.

2 rookies in back to back nights being the hero?

Dude can't throw strikes, don't help him out.

They do but with Burger on the bench it really doesn’t matter at this point.

didnt they limit mound visits? Thats what the third one this inning?
