    So, if it goes extra innings ... McCullers for as long as it takes but hope it’s short, save Valdez for tomorrow, and if it goes to 7 use Javier and bullpen (inc McCullers if he doesn’t throw much today)?

    If this goes into extras who in the freaking word do we throw? De Jong?

    He said right after the game last night that he would be. That is meaningless.

    Has anyone said anything about him today?

    Four BIG outs for Pressly

    ETA- Javier is acceptable too

    This is Pressly's wheelhouse anyway. He's not really a closer.

    Can Georgie do it again? A Springer dinger would be so nice.

    I'm sure James has held a lead but you could count it on 1 or 2 fingers. Throws fast but there is a tendency for them to end up in the seats.

    Sit back and enjoy fellas. Win or lose, this team gave us way more than expected after the verlander injury.

    First game this series where the Rays have more hits than the Astros. And that's because they didn't give Tucker a hit
