OUR NEW CLOSER!!

[Nine of twelve]

 

This Hildenberger-in-the-ninth thing hasn't gone well lately.

Success due to the the anti-jinx. You're welcome.

RATHER SEE THE OTHER TREVOR!!!

Winnah!

There's gotta be a better option within the organization than Hildenberger to close out games. He was lucky he got to enter with a 3-run lead.

Hildenberger has been watching Rodney all year and thought that is how you save games. Good job righting the ship and getting the save after the bad start. They sure have been hitting him hard lately, might be good to rotate someone else in next time.

So, instead of the FRE, we have the THE.

 I'm guessing Austin might need to shake off some rust here

How much rust do you think a player accumulates, playing regularly in the International League? We probably should terminate our working agreement with Rochester, and for sure get Buxton somewhere else pronto.
