What a GREAT performance. This was exactly what our bullpen needed.

snit already warmed up winkler so probably finish but again allard should've finished saving winkler for tomorrow
Bullpen? We don't need no stinkin bullpen.
Three relief pitchers used over two games...that’ll do pig.
Looks like Winkler for the 9th, he hasnt had a huge workload lately so i'm ok with that.
If Winkler can have a clean 9th, everyone but probably Sobotka should be good for Tuesday.
Right now we're looking at 99.5% Win Expectancy. I hope Emma and the elephant are at least warmed up.
Probably saving Allard incase Sanchez cant go or if he gets lit up or has to leave early.Originally Posted by Braves1976
yes but even so snit fails to use allard with big leads in both and using winkler to finish leaves him out tomorrow. Sobotka is probably out tomorrow too after 44 pitches today.
probably so.
stupid, if you saved Biddle, winkler, sobotka you could get 5-6 innings out of them combined. Now the latter two should be out tomorrow. Allard is unlikely to go more than three or four tops in relief either way.
Flaherty should just bunt so we are guaranteed to see another Acuna at bat.
Using Winkler doesn't burn him for tomorrow.
Would it be better for Dansby if he widened his batting stance?
winkler would be pitching in his third straight tomorrow in that case.
Flaherty is so bad it hurts
I suspect if Sanchez is alright tomorrow, we'll see Allard get sent down Wednesday. He's Sanchez insurance at this point.
Edit: Though I'm not sure who they get up for Allard. I want to see Touki given a shot like LA does Caleb Ferguson sometime soon, but it'll be at least a 3 day wait, although they probably want him to make a couple more starts first. Sooooo, hmm. That'll be interesting.

Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
We used 3 RP's in two games today, stop complaining.
It could be 24-1 in the WS and you'd find a way to complain about it.
Allard is the least reliable pitcher in the pen and he's the designated emergency long relief man and potentially even a contingency starter for Sanchez tomorrow.
Everyone in the pen but Sobotka figures to be available tomorrow.
Who gave up the 1?
