    Looks like Dusty wants LMJ to get through at least 5 innings no matter what

    That's the luxury of being up 3-0 I guess

    I’m assuming someone is getting loose in the pen.

    LMJ is the series closer, he doesn't need to pitch a 1 or 2 run game like the rest of the staff... He just needs to get out jams and not let this thing get out of control. So far he has done it. He will be out by the 7th inning... Edit just saw his pitch count... He will be out by 6th inning...

    Dusty is a twisted genius. He's making the hitters earn one tonight

    This. Sad that we have to explain this to the bandwagoners who show up this time of year.

    Battling is a good description of what LMJ did.

    He wasn’t good but we might just be spoiled by how phenomenal our other pitchers are. If the pen can keep up the previous work I still think we got this

    Hate to say this, but looking like it's setting up to be a Yankee walk off so the media can cream

    100 pitches for LMJ. That should be it for today

    McCullers battled through that outing. 5 innings, kept us in the game, I’ll take it. He was way off his game, but fought through it. Good effort.

    Huge credit to Dusty for sticking with LMJ and to LMJ for figuring out how to get through despite not having his A-stuff.

    It is. Dusty trusted him to get the 5-6-7 hitters out and that was a worthwhile risk.
