Ruiz still in the 8 th pitching to a lefty. We are fucked.  Where is Bummer?

I definitely thought that was gone off the bat. 

We're gonna blow late inning leads in back-to-back games, aren't we?

And no one is warming up. Amazingly bad.

 

I know you don't want to overuse guys, but... Hendriks is not someone I'd really be concerned about using 3 days in a row. It's not like his workload was that immense the last 2 days. If he can handle pitching both ends of a DH he can handle going again today.

Apparently he can't pitch 3 days in a row despite pitching to 4 guys in the last 2 outings.

There's also an off day tomorrow.

Exactly. Even if you want to make him unavailable Tuesday as well, that's fine. But there's no reason to punt this game away.

He looked gimpy last night though

Watching Ruiz throw middle-middle fastballs causes my heart to sink

What the flying fuck lmao

Wright is warming.... ?

Wright better not be closing 

Does Tepera have COVID or something 

I'd rather they have optioned someone and use Foster as the closer than Mike Wright. I really hope that isn't the plan for the 9th.

Ruiz is the new 8th inning guy. Easiest 8th all year

Nice job Ruiz.

Is Tepera dead? Why is Mike Wright warming to close this game out?

If Hendrix is unavailable, just keep Ruiz in!  Do not go to Wright.  He only has 10 pitches.

Wish we would have asked for Devers+ in the Sale trade instead of Moncada

There was a TON of debate about that here at the time of the deal.

I'd rather stick with Ruiz than let Wright close, holy shit. What about Tapera though?

Don't they have a day off tomorrow? Wright? 

Liam in 9th i bet
