Tepera was excellent

AJ said Kopech settled this game down....uh no that would be Tepera.

So they can’t use Kimbrel can they? 

Tepera, booooom.

Start the 7th with him. He just has it tonight. If anyone reaches, go to Bummer

you have to start tepera in the 7th. nobody looks like they're seeing him well. he's only 20 pitches in. hard to trust very many in this pen, and it's do or die. maybe go straight to hendriks in the 8th lol...

6 up 6 down for Tepera!  Huge innings to pick up the staff.

Lol, think Kimbrel is gonna pitch? TLR should kill the good times 

Bummer & Hendriks will each get one, as bad as Kimbrel has been not sure who Tony would give the other.  Maybe Bummer or Liam gets two?

How can anybody watch this and think human umpires are better than a robotic zone?

Tepera has been a fantastic addition 

This ump is bad, but bad for us this time.

i for one would be happy to never see kimbrel in this postseason again. how can you trust this mental midget at this point?

Not a bad idea, but got to have a quick hook.

Yup. He's catching it like it's a damn football. At least it looks like he's using two hands though. 

He’s starting to look like he has a mental approach problem. Wonder if he resents being coached sometimes and wants to show people up. Maybe the DH thing has unleashed a beast.

We still need people to pitch tomorrow, preferably not named Lopez and Ruiz

Relevant.

as long as it evens out? although it feels like it has been net bad for us, both this year and overall. i'm still not ready for robot umps tho... call me a luddite

I’m sure Hendriks can go back to back games

fair enough. hendriks can do four innings in two days lol. maybe that's stupid but that's where my head's at

Yeah Liam for two. He is a horse, let the man do his work.

Don’t think you can give Hendriks 2 if you want to use him tomorrow.

Kimbrel’s coming in the 8th like or or not ?

Don't agree on starting a third inning with Tepera, he can still go tomorrow and definitely Wednesday. Don't want to push his arm and make him do something he has never done.

Bummer is up in the bullpen, Kimbrel likely will be soon. You need to have someone fresh and available after 3 batters until you get to Hendriks.
