Hendriks can’t throw the slider because he knows he spikes it about 60 pct of the time

Team is playing such losing baseball

To be fair, don't think there's a closer in the game who holds runners or gives them enough attention. Additionally, more easy to overlook when  you don't put them there.

All fastballs? This will work out well.

No reason for Hicks not to take second too.

Was he really Tony's guy? I had no idea he was somebody Tony specifically wanted?

I believe Tony pushed for this signing right off the get go this off-season. Kelly was going to resign w the Dodgers until Tony had to have him

Great location

Great placement on that fastball by Liam.

The tricky part is always the third out.

Nice out, though not sure he'll get 4 more with fastball only.

Our strategy towards opponents on base, is mindboggling.

Would imagine if we get out of this he will go to the breaking stuff in the 9th.

My feed must be a couple of pitches behind.

I'm begging the offense for an insurance run or two here.

Much weaker lineup in the 9th as well. Still liked Liam to start the 8th with the heart of the order up there. Tony could have left him in the 9th for the one thing Tony cares about, giving Liam a Save.
