    He got 2 outs, struck out one of them, and gave up a seeing eye single up the middle to Castellanos. Yes, he gave up a double to Harper.

    It’s a tough lineup to navigate and any of the remaining starters could get lit up (or dominate them) for the rest of the series, so I get trying to push here.

    I’m not asking any manager to micro-manage games in the 5th or 6th inning… but Blanco wasn’t exactly “laboring”, and still was a seeing eye single away from a QS, while keeping the bullpen semi fresh since Neris only needed for 1 out.

    I also wouldn’t manage this game as if 2-1 is expected…. Frankly, i’m thrilled it’s still 2-2 (for the time being).

    King isn't ready for high leverage. Gotta hold breath here.

    Yet people wanted Espada to go to the pen even earlier. They got their wish.

    Gritty AB. King has shown decent stuff in some pressure.

    IR abort with Ort

    Dana did an excellent job piecing this bullpen together.

    I don’t think he meant to throw it there but that was literally the perfect pitch. It followed the same tunnel as those sliders he laid off on.
