    I can see that point, but with the limited amount of arms that can be trusted in this pen. Id save him for tomorrow.

    Baker has pushed all the right buttons with how he's managed the pitching staff this postseason. ..despite how much some of his moves have been questioned here.

    No sweat

    Offense showing life, bullpen doing quality work, Javier only having to go one inning. A ton of great signs even with LMJ struggling.

    I liked putting Pressly in, get this W. As are very capable of having a 5 run inning, imagine losing this game in the 9th? Would be the series.

    Don't play around with them, everyone talks about the Rockets and Texans failing to put the foot on the throat and thats what the Stros did today.

    Now As have all the pressure to win tomorrow or face being down 2-0 in a 5 game series.

    I understand wanting to save arms for bigger situations, but you can't just let him not throw for a week. Those bullpen guys get into routines and rythms going every other day etc. Not going for a week could mess him up quite a 'bit. Now he's thrown a very short and quality inning. Hopefully that gets him into a groove here.

    Complete game in almost all facets today. Great win!

    Oakland used 8 pitchers. Think that improves the odds that Fiers pitches at some point?
