5/13: GDT at Marlins

[FreemanFan]

Viz should not pitch with less than a 10 run lead.

[thewupk]

Fine. Suck is a strong word. He does make every inning incredibly interesting/suspenseful. I'd prefer him in a set up role with less pressure.

I don't think there is much of a difference between the two. Ideally you want your best pitcher against their best hitters in a late game

[Garmel]

Whew!

[TURBO]

[buck75]

Toooo close. Good win.

[Hawk]

Whew!

yeah lol

[UNCBlue012]

Win! Was hoping for a sweep, but three of four is awesome too

5 out of 6 after the Giants debacle. Nice rebound on what could have sent the team into a lull.

I fail to see how you don't see a difference between Winkler and Viz. Yeah, Viz throws harder, but Winkler seems to beat him in almost every other category. Obviously "closer" is a relative term these days, but Winkler should get the high leverage innings for this team. He's our best reliever.

Absolutely. Great point. This team has so much grit.

difference between the 8th and 9th. I don't think there is any added pressure.

Schedule about the get tougher. Would be happy with .500 ball the rest of May.

If we make the playoffs, finally we have a guy like Ender who won't roll over and take it. Rah Rah guy we could have used 2010-2013.

Definitely gonna be a guy in a 5 game series that sparks the team.

I guess my point is that Winkler should be the go to high leverage reliever whenever we need him. Viz should fall back to the secondary level with Minter.

He's pitched great but has 35 career innings in the majors. They aren't going to pull the plug on Viz as a closer in a situation like this.

[The Chosen One]

The only thing I'm torn on is we keep winning road games with the ugly navy blue roads. I need those classic road grays to feel the nostalgia again.

camargo....

Camargo had an out at 2nd.

Bae makes the right play there.

I'll feel good if we can go 4-4 in our 8 games against the Red Sox, Cubs, and Nats. For the 10 games against the Phillies, Marlins, and Mets I think we should be able to win at least 6 or 7 of those. Going 9-9 would be fine to close out the month, but I think 11-7 or something like that is doable.

[jpx7]

Damn. Albies looks crazy lost right now.

Worrisome.

But meanwhile, Acuña’s PAs were very encouraging today, even if sans much flash.
