I would think they would let Reed get a hit before demoting him. Would mess with his head if they didnt....
Well, i said Springer was going to have a good game, BUT, also said Reed was going to get on base twice and K was going to pitch 7 innings, so only 1 of 3, ouch. Wait, that is a .333 average, and this is baseball, right??? lol
I was going to post something about Keuchel's 10 pitch 4th inning and great finish to the 5th, but I did some push-ups instead.
I'm pretty sure Keuchel will come out for the 6th, but I hope AJ pulls him quickly if he gets into any trouble. Then it will be Giles/Gregerson/Harris to finish if Keuchel can get through the 6th.
Giles warming up to pitch in the 6th if necessary, by using Feliz for 2 innings yesterday is not available tonight unless we go to extra innings looks like.
Should K start the 7th? Is the fourth time around and is a time where K struggles. I think we should use Giles in the 7th. K after all did a very nice job with 6 innings and 2 earn runs. I said before the game he was going to throw 7, but with Calhoun, Trout and Pujols coming up, i prefer a fresh Giles.
