    Why not throw 1 breaking ball?

    Pressly’s done nothing this year to give me the least bit of confidence in this situation.

    Leadoff walks are not good. Not good. And now their best hitter. Why now.

    Right - what you're playing for, though, is to avoid a sweep. You're reducing your chances of winning the series to reduce your chance of going 0-4. It's a bad strategic decision if your goal is to win the series.

    It doesn't matter who you pitch those 3 innings. Again, you might blow this game and lose as a result - but you make it more likely that you navigate 4 games instead of 3 innings. To win this series, you need to have a plan to successfully navigate 30 more innings. If you use Javier for 2 or 3 today, you lose him for 5 or 6 tomorrow, meaning you bring in a crappier pitcher for more innings tomorrow. Or you run Valdez, McCullers, and Urquidy out on 3 days' rest, meaning you likely get fewer and crappier innings from them.

    Now I'm a 'bit confused. I understand Javier let a guy on base...but we just wasted a start for this so might as well just ride him unless he gave up another hit or two and save Ryan for tomorrow if we need him for a few innings.

    Again...-If- there's a tomorrow.
