    It isn’t Josh James's job to put the best pitcher on the mound in a potential elimination game with a multi-run lead.

    Our pitching has been pretty bad this game. I wouldn't expect to win a game our pitchers gave up 5 homeruns in. It sucks.

    Is Charlie Morton in the bullpen? That was game -7-. Not game 3 of a 5 game series. So what if he brings in Javier and he doesn't get the job done? Who do you start tomorrow? Scrubb?

    It's not game 7....there's a HUGE difference between the 2.

    Its a shame that it was Baker who lost this game if we lose

    putting james in again and letting him face that 2nd batter and then letting him face that 3rd hitter.

    Unbelievable

    "Pretty bad" is a very charitable way of putting it. ;)

    You know what?? I don't give a **** about this game. GIVE ME FIERS! I bet Bob Melvin keeps protecting his little bottom b**** though.

    Who would you have put in the game in that spot? I don't want a "anyone but James", I'm asking who. Name the pitcher.

    However, it IS Josh James job to hold a 3 run lead.7.27 ERA coming in is throwing batting practice worthy.

    Thats when Javier was supposed to come in with the 3 run lead and we coast to a W with a bunch of days off. Now were still having to scrap with them.
