We only have the lead in late innings about once a week, why pitch Alta in that game. Let him pitch in the blow outs.

Why would they take Swanson out? He though like 7 pitches. :roll:
Ah, let him sit down with a good feeling of doing his job. Maybe it will be contagious and another reliever will have a good outing. We have some room for errors now...
Well that post didn't age well.....

Swanson threw 7 pitches all for strikes in the 7th and idiot Servais pulls him for a guy that can't throw strikes and is now getting shelled.

Wouldn't you just love to sit on Blackmon's front porch with him in the off season, drinking beer and shooting squirrels and rabbits for the evening stew? The dude could get a job on Duck Dynasty after his baseball career is over.

This was all planned to get Williams a save.

That's because Altavilla's just not very good... nice velo, very hittable, low mentality.... but now we get to test out another bullpen contender...

The only hitter better than Murphy is Blackmon.... Let's see if Williams can keep him in the park.

Yeah, I just don't get replacing a reliever who was lights out after 7 pitches for a fucking bum that has been a fucking bum for all 17 seasons he has somehow been here. btw why is he still on this team? JD must like big Butts.

So will it be Edwards in the 9th, Shaw's not available... Williams has that save in Houston... but that was a three out save.
