    The lack of fundamentals this year is staggering.

    Walk Garcia, his run doesn't matter.

    Set up an out at any base, please.

    Yay, he can still strike guys out on fastballs….

    Never economical innings, won’t get to do what the Rangers are about to do with their closer.

    Give Hader a mound visit

    Let him rest a bit. He's at 24 pitches.

    Well the positive side of pitching to him there and getting him out is they start the 10th with their 9th hitter up...

    Alright, he got through it.

    Smoltz approach to extras now (have to get multiple runs to win, especially if you’re the road team. The ghost runner doesn’t matter, let him score if you have to… but the second you exhaust resources trying to prevent that run, you’re going to give up a lot more).
