Even if this doesn't work out... I prefer Devo back in this multi-inning long relief role, vs being simply an 8th inning guy only. Hopefully he does well, and Harris/Giles can lock down the rest.
I didn't know where to put this.. here's as good a place as any. I was texting (via a Swype keyboard) a friend about Joel Osteen's stuff this past week, and "idiot" was autocorrected to "Odor". I deleted and tried again, and again, "Odor". My keyboard refused to identify "idiot" as anything but "Odor" unless I manually hit each key.
Having Harris back gives AJ that flexibility. Didn't have many relievers he trusted in that 8th inning role prior.
I think he does better when he knows he's going multiple innings. Could just be my questionable memory. Could be he just does better when he isn't trying to over power every pitch.
Loving the aggressiveness by Cora with the bullpen. Really proactive in regards to leveraged situations.
In a one game managing situation... with tomorrow being an off-day... he's going to be as aggressive as possible to win this one game. That being said, you obviously can't manage like this over 162 and expect everybody to be tip-top come October.
