Rocco must be careful with how he uses the bullpen with 2 games. Columbe is good to go, maybe he wants to save Sands/Jax and only use 1 of them in game 1? Duran has to get a quick 9th if it comes down to it. Stewart, not sure if he will pitch again today.

Larnach, off a lefty to boot!

Win the game that's in front of you. This is a case of Rocco playing it right, IYAM.

Lewis' swing is all kinda broken. Off balance, feet moving all over, arms-only. Been since last year.

Man Buxton is streaky 

Outside of those driven by real mechanical issues or injuries, the evidence is that "hot streaks" & "cold streaks" don't really exist in any statistically meaningful way. Results over the previous 10-20 at bats have almost no impact whatsoever on the result of the next marginal at-bat (same with shooting in basketball).

Our brains just recognize patterns & seek to create attributions that don't exist. Any batters likelihood of getting a hit (or on base, or whatever) in their next at bat map almost exactly to their long-term average doing so... Recent results don't matter.

May get your wish if France goes on the IL.  I doubt he will at this point, but you never know.

If he's hurt bad don't wait or we'll be shorthanded  , but they like to always seem to wait , how many days before they placed Willie  on IL list  ...

Yikes, Varland is not getting the ball in enough on hitters with 2 strikes.

Lee makes the play it's all good

Virtually zero chance Stewart pitches again today.

Did buxton really need to dive for it , seemed like ball was caught and then he dived ...

I'm watching on my phone today and that's what I saw ...

Looked like he needed to in order to avoid injury (not facetious)

No. But one of those slides that makes the catch a bit less awkward than catching it at your shins.

Now the question of how Rocco will manage the bullpen.  Does he go Jax/Duran to at least guarantee 1 win today?  Or does he split Jax and Duran and who comes on in the 8th?
