    Playoffs are a whole new pressure cooker. I didn’t like how King came in and 1st pitch emptied the bases yesterday. Just one pitch, one game I know, but that kinda stuff is devastating in the postseason.

    King would be a LHP matchup guy and one of the last guys out of the pen.

    And that’s where he definitely needs to be.

    I don’t trust king, Ort, Scott, martinez, ferguson in the postseason and I don’t trust Whitley either. I know Neris has looked good for us but I have trust issues with him too.

    Maybe if we don’t let JV get rocked in the playoffs we won’t have to worry about that.

    Doesn’t Blanco typically struggle with the first few batters?

    FYI, don't look for any help from the Rangers this weekend. The fix is in.

    I would like Martinez as well but we got to get him into a game at some point.

    I think King has earned the spot but I seriously doubt he makes the list.

    It doesn’t really matter who the other guys are other than Neris, Abreu, Pressly and Hader. If they stupidly give JV a start, we will see Blanco as well.

    Other than them, I don’t think we are going to see any other reliever unless we are losing by multiple runs. Maybe Arrighetti gets some run due to his K potentially but that’s about it.

    So Altuve strikes out by not swinging on a pitch down the middle and Yainer/Pena strike out on swings out of the zone. Could've been a different inning
