Last night's game suggests that Cora is liking Hembree and Kelly as the 7th and 8th inning guys right now.
Barnes and Smith have been used sparingly of late. Barnes in fact has pitched only once since April 15.

Looking for Mr. Andrew Benintendi to step up and deliver tonight and end talk of being dropped in the order.
Our offense at catcher is not an issue, because our run prevention has been tremendous and we have plenty of other guys who can hit.
Also, Leon will not end up hitting .100 for the year.
Plenty of commentators and fans still buy into the importance of the W. The most obvious evidence of this comes when a starter is pulled in the 5th inning with a lead. A big deal is made of the fact that he can't get the win.
