8/25/13 vs St.Louis Red Turds

[Dalyn]

We need to push Minor a bit. He needs to be prepared to carry the staff in the playoffs.

On a day when Schafer and Elliot have two hits apiece and Janish has a hit, Freeman and JUpton are hitless.

 

[TURBO]

So did Zito have to do any shots?

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Elliot! He is the greatest.

I think it's a tough spot.
Our bullpen is great, so it's easy to turn it over to them and let Minor pitch less going into the post-season. For the most part, we won't need him to go 8+ to win games in the playoffs, so I'm not sure I agree that he needs to go another inning. Don't let the lineup see him for the 4th times through today.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Wacha Flocka!

 

[Dalyn]

Nice baserunning.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Now at 5-1, I'd let Minor try to get the first guy out in the 8th.

KC takes the lead again in the 8th!
another hit makes it 6-4 vs. Nats!

 

[Dalyn]

Avilan. Again. Poor guy.

And he is shaking his arm around after every pitch.

 

[Dalyn]

Get Avilan out. He looks hurt.

 

[TURBO]

Man Craig can hit
