What the hell.....?

 

Would you rather pitch to a kid like Nava who's hotter than hell right now, or to Marlon Byrd?

It was more about having a force at every base than pitching around Nava.

Both were clearly factors. Otherwise why not just pitch to the AAAA schlub? It's not like you were passing over him to get to a lesser player if recent play isn't a factor..

I hope Lester can finish this game strong. He has had a hell of a game so far. Two nights off for our set-up men and closer. One night off for the entire pen looks possible. I am loving this win streak. When this team is hot they are a great team. I know the Mariners and Guardians are not the toughest teams, but we need any help that we can get right now. If we play good tomorrow and come up with another victory, then we are riding a five game win streak heading into a two game series against the Rays. We would have a lot of momentum. This is definitely exciting to see the Sox play this good. Now time to get above .500 and get on a hot streak.

Lester's command isn't great. Get someone warming V. Probably won't come in, but it's better to take precautions.

Guardians are one of the better road teams in MLB this yr ( small sample ) and we have been horrible at home... Taking 3 out of 4 was a pretty big deal I think

I agree. That was a big boost. When your team is 12-19 and you have been struggling all year, any time you take 3 out of 4 is huge. If we win today, we will be 16-19. That number looks a lot better than if we lost the series to Cleveland. We are still under that 20 loss mark.

Even if he lets that other man at third score, it's still a heck of an outing.

 

Wanted that danged shutout though.
