Kind of worked perfectly though. Duran held a one run lead, bats gave Jax a bigger cushion that they ended up needing, and they won. If Jax or someone gives up the lead in the 8th there's a chanc

Wouldn't be a game thread without complaints about the lineup

Can we please let our closer close going forward. Trying to reinvent the wheel at every turn

You’d rather Jax give up the lead in the 8th?

If Jax or someone gives up the lead in the 8th there's a chance Duran never even pitches in the game. The whole point is to make sure to use Duran in a big spot. The 8th was a big spot.

You do know that this is a trend that a lot of teams are employing lately.

Better than Margot, I'm assuming you mean. 

Because Noah Miller's on pace for 30 HRs this year and has soared up the Dodgers Top Prospect list. 

Obviously shortstop, quit being hyperbolic. If Miller makes a single all star game it'll be one of the most amazing prospect success stories we have seen in years.

Meanwhile, I'm looking at Cole Young, the Mariner's top prospect. He's 20, at AA and a shortstop. Miller is a nice enough player, but there's guys like this all over the place.

Compared to a walk off with no chance to come back? Yes. 6 outs have to made and Duran isn’t making them all. Sometimes people act like the 4-9 hitters are bums. They’re not. They’re major league hitters too. Bichette and IKF had 5 hits between them tonight.

What happens if the lesser of the two pitchers gives up the lead in the 9th?

With a 2 run lead if you can't get 3 outs before it's tied  you don't belong in the show

I get the logic and the odds you are playing. And it could have just as easily gone the other way. But I don’t think it was a dumb move to have Duran pitch the 8th and pitch to Vlad. It’s not like we were knocking the cover off the ball tonight, I think pitching Duran in the 8th was the better move. Tonight, anyway.

Don’t belong in baseball? Lmao what. Jax has had his share of that over his career. So you wanted the guy who shouldn’t even be in MLB to get the last 3 outs?

Many still play the opener. Now, that one I really dislike. But I’m okay with putting Duran in when it will be most effective and tonight I think it was the 8th 🙂

I'm not saying I agree. But it's been a big topic on MLB network this year
