Count has huge balls. Tonight at least.

Count still in.

Contreras in to start the 8th. I disagree with the decision....but understand it. I would have loved to see Cotts start the inning.

Oh boy.....Cliff should be in, imo.

My biggest fear about leaving Contreras in is the leadoff walk to Womack.

Considering how easy it is to run on Contreras, if anyone reaches he has to be pulled.

Womack is not a challenge. You don't bring in bullpen help for Womack. Not when your starter has started the inning with 96 pitches. You bring in help if he gets on before Jeter.

I am just hoping since the offense isn't doing their job, hopefully the pitching will get it done.

Why is dam warming up instead of Neal?

It has about 71 times this year.

Damnit, WHY IS CONTRERAS STILL IN

s***.

 

1b by Womack.

f***. Why would you throw him a fastball with 2 strikes? I just wish that Ozzie would have as much confidence in our bullpen as he does in our starting pitchers.

Ok, now you bring in Politte.

Jose

 

WAY TO STEP IT UP

Great game Jose.

 

Lets hold 'em, pen.

Ok, now you bring in Politte.

God damnit, it should be Neal.

Simply boggles my mind. Cotts hasn't allowed a run in 15 outings. Yet, Marte continues to get the call before him in most of the crucial situations.

Clifford has shut down righties and lefties all year long better than Neal. In a 1 run game, I'll take my chances with Cliffy.

The bullpen has to be on tonight. I knew The Count should not have entered in the eighth. If he gets a no decision, I'm going to be pissed.

Not sure how well Politte can hold on Womack here.

God, KC's Defense sucks.

Cotts is a 5th-7th inning middle reliever...not a setup or closer....

Clifford has shut down righties and lefties all year long better than Neal.  In a 1 run game, I'll take my chances with Cliffy.

I am scared that fastball will jump off their bat and tie this game up.

 

Maybe even give them the lead...
