    So if it’s a bullpen game, who’s available?

    Every game for and against the Rays is like this... the Rays have had to scrape and claw just as much as the Astros.

    The Rays defense was the MVP in games 1-3.

    Absolutely... they do all the little things and under appreciated things well. If they eliminate the Astros I will be rooting for them to win the World Series.

    Taking him out for the 9th means you can probably get an inning or so out of him tomorrow.

    Yep, I suspect if needed they'll do what they need to win tomorrow and not think about game 6 until game 6.

    At least the Rays are my backup team. :) I live less than 20 minutes from the crappy stadium

    Absolutely. Most teams wouldn’t make the ALCS with $49 million out for the season (your ace and closer included), and another $13 million being unproductive at the plate.

    Yes, but I think even better. Good comparison for sure.
