Bat Javy and have him catch....haha...

[itisallpartoftheplan]

If Javy is batting and Ross catches a pitcher will have to bat in the 8th or 9th.

Javy will make sure there is no 9th.

[SpongeWorthy]

wasn't expecting the guy named Sammy Solis to be a white dude

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Should go to Baez here. Worth blowing through the bench in big situations.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Walk him!

Should have just brought in Javy to begin with.

 

Javy vs. RH that hadn't thrown a strike > Kalish vs. a pretty good LHP.

Arrieta walk-off it is.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Kalish!

[Tryptamine]

Wow, that was the most Cardinalish horsefeathers I've ever seen.

[Careless]

I'll take that

[NotSoSober]

never even doubted you, Ryan Kalish

[Aaron_Kennelly]

YEEESSS!!!!

[badger]

Everything Joe maddon touches is gold.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Ryan effing Kalish!!

[bcl412]

Everything is awesome

[BigSlick]

Ok when you're getting contributions by guys like Ryan Kalish you know you're the team of destiny

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Now make it pour.

My sentiments exactly.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

That will do! Good job Kalish!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Joe Maddon is a genius. Don't listen to the skinny little Indian guy drinking beers on his couch.

[TruffleShuffle]

small sample sizes on both (don't know about their minor league splits), but at least in the majors kalish and solis haven't really shown much variance in their splits. seems like the right move to stay with kalish there, given the close score and the fact that it's only the 6th inning.

[badger]

When are y'all gonna stop doubting Joe?

[chuckywang]

Final line for the 2nd best starter in the NL: 5.2IP, 5ER, 7H, 1BB and in line for the loss.

I thought it was the 7th. And I'm the one that said Maddon does everything right. I should be ashamed of myself for doubting his genius.
