Perhaps. But Jax has been the better pitcher all season long so if you're THAT worried about the top of the order, go with the guy who has been more effective.
Ah, I see it now. Yeah, how dare anyone question the decision to use your closer in the 7th - down by 2 runs - when he's struggled in non-save situations.
When Sands, Alcala and Jax are available, you send out your closer in the 7th inning - Duran has struggled in non-save opportunities this year.
This isn't rocket science.
Isbel approaching 'lil Nicky Lopez levels of pesty and Witt Jr. batting 3rd this inning. Hopefully Louie can make it through and turn it over to the pen.
