Castro better not get into any slump because Gattis will take the position fast

 

I've been saying that since last year, Feliz should be used the same way Toronto did with Osuna. The Blue Jays still have hopes for Roberto to be in the rotation in the future.

 

Because he is our best defensive 1b and we are in a 1 run game.
If he can walk, he should stay

 

Big play there by Rasmus.

 

Now you see why Marwin needs to play at 1b in close games late

 

Great play by MarGo

 

Another bad home plate ump.

 

Feliz bailed out. That was 3-0

 

Scared me a bit

 

One of Feliz's shakier innings in a while. Still didn't give up a run.

 

I am happyyyyyyyyyy

 

That was by far the most human we've seen him in quite some time, yet still another scoreless outing.

 

Phew....

 

He has not called that high strike all game long.

 

The home plate umps are just not consistent enough with balls and strikes. Time for computers to do that job.

 

Let's get a little insurance here

 

yeah you did. he also got shelled several last year coming out of the pen when he was given a chance. there wasn't time in the dead heat of a pennant race to experiment with rookies.

 

yes, especially when you pitch once every 2 weeks

 

Dull has a nice slider

Springer, run, we need a steal

 

Nice job Hinch, the catcher has NOT thrown out a runner all year and you did not steal with Springer. How many double plays today???
