This was a bad inning to use him, as they’re going to hit for the lower quality lefties instead of their main guys 

Wow that ball carried a lot.

He's basically only gonna face one lefty lol

Where the f*** was that?

Dominated the lefty!

He made Conforto look silly lol

Actually was correct call

conforto sucks. big time. 

Don't love the Lopez move here. 

ReyLo in the 7th.  interesting.

Um....so ReyLo is coming in, in the 7th? So is Joe Kelly going to try and close it?

Tony would never use his closer in the 7th. 

Or maybe Lopez lost the closer's job with his last outing in Houston.

Looked like it clipped the bottom of the zone to me.

Probably Kelly for the 8th and Graveman for the 9th if we still have a lead. 

If they think Lopez is their best reliever, it’s a great move.  Problem is we have no idea what he is yet

With the way that Grandal caught it, there was no way that was getting called a strike. It looked way lower than it was.

Pedro has been pretty adamant since the Liam news it would be closer by committee.

Hmmm....2 1/3 inning save??

Hendriks did say see you soon Chicago....Is he crashing thru the fence WWE style for the 9th....?

Reylo might get the 8th too depending on how this AB goes. 

The 2 different strike zones is remarkably noticeable.

Reylo only throwing 97

So ReyLo isn't sitting 100 today huh

Pedro has said he'd mix and match and use based on leverage. So I think this is just part of that plan.

Really is.  Shouldn't be like that. Electronic K zone cannot come soon enough.
