My guess is Alzolay is dealing with a dead arm and Ross is trying to give him as many days off as he can. I think if something was really wrong he’d be on the IL already
Good point actually. If Merryweather comes in to close the game that will be interesting. If it’s a 4 run game Ross might be able to explain it away but if it’s a save situation he’s gonna get questions
Blah blah blah shut down the Reds. I still dont know why hes on the roster, much less pitching in a critical spot like that. Yes I know hes done well against righties, but I just have no confidence in him
I don’t mind this situation. He was cruising the last 3 innings and his pitch count was fine. A leadoff double isn’t necessarily time to rush to get him out of the game I don’t think.
Marlins beat the f’ing Dodgers, Brewers up 7-3 in the bottom of the 9th. Mariners up 6-3 on the Reds.
Most we can increase our lead over WC3 is to 3.5 games. Can increase our playoff cushion to 4 games with Reds and DBacks losses (and of course a Cubs win)
