    It will simply have to be his numbers in just save situations now.

    Ramirez did have a helluva AB. Hinch probably would have pulled him after that simply to keep him available for tomorrow. I also would have gone to Rondon vs. 9th inning Harris.

    Lindor was a 3rd strike and inning over. Ump wanted to make Hinch pay.

    I forgot Hinch got tossed.

    No wonder Devo didn't pitch the 9th and Giles got pulled early.

    Oh lord we’re rolling with Joe Smith.

    This is for all you guys who take Hinch for granted. :D

    Awesome... we are going to have to pay a massive price in terms of prospects to land a closer. Meanwhile, we spent 12 million a year on Smith and Rondon. Brandon Morrow and Wade Davis look like bargains right about now.

    Joe Smith in? Feeling like a frustrating loss.

    Rondon is legit. Smith is just terrible.

    We're not the only ones with a trash pen though (and it isn't that bad compared to others). There might be like 5 teams who actually have a quality pen, and they have massive problems elsewhere.

    Joe Smith with a flawless 1-2-3 and all our top guys couldn't get it done. Go figure.

    Two of Morton, Keuchel, LMJ will be in the pen for most playoff games.
