Right, and you don’t wanna let the opposing lineup see these arms more times than necessary 

Exactly. It’s why JS pitching Hoffman in game 1 was really stupid. You never want to let their hitters see the good relievers in blow out games.

[Slade]

Looks like they are going to let him pitch the 9th.

Definitely agree with using Yariel for the 9th. He’s been bad for a while so this is the perfect time to use him. I don’t expect him to go back out there though. 

Just seems dumb to let the Mariners have another free look at Fluharty or whoever else we might need for a big out later in the series 

[Ball4Life]

Flu here lol

[BB17]

JS is a f***ing moron. Just so unnecessary to use Fluharty here.

3-1 is a blowout game? 

[Slade]

Rodriguez really does blow.

[Jonn]

I really don't understand using Fluharty here

[neverbeenhere]

Front office clearly puts 0 stock in the “see the same guy too many times” train of thought

Hopefully Flu has a quick inning here.

[BB17]

Also you run the risk of Fluharty using like 20 pitches and being less effective or not available tomorrow..

At least you put Rodriguez out there to start the 9th

[Omar]

I suppose the thinking is don't let them get any confidence with late inning hits.  End the game with them demoralized.  We play them again in 20 hours.

Barger says hi to his hometown. 

Secret sauce in the hometown boy, he killed them in that sweep in May.

Gives JS more of a reason to use little, his golden child

It backfires if they get to him in garbage time. Makes it harder to go to him tomorrow in a big spot.

They should because stats prove guys are better against the same relievers the more they see them lol

Call my crazy but I got a good feeling about Max tomorrow. I think he lets it eat one more time.

[neverbeenhere]

need a double play to minimize the pitch count 

[BB17]

Does JS have varland warming in the pen yet?

[Wake n bake]

Never any doubt for Vladdy with them plays
