Look- if we wanted to we could just go ahead and Throw everyone but Abreu and Nerris an inning. We have an off day. Let all the guys get in some work. 
what the hell right?  Who cares?  
got 9 guys in the bullpen. Don’t use those 2 that pitched last night- let’s get everyone an inning.

Ok mrs dusty.

Not at all.  But you can't manage every game like game 7.  You don't bring in leverage arms down 3 or 4 in the 3rd inning of game 2.  One thing Smoltz preaches which he is correct about is that the more you show your bullpen in a 7 game series, the less effective it is later in the series.

That's literally what JP France is there for to come in and provide some innings to keep the high leverage arms off the field and yet still keep the game in better striking distance than Framber did.

Texas has talented hitters who are seeing the ball well. If they win the series, I guess good for them. But we're still totally in this thing. Let's start proving it.  


it’s a new game

Yea we might want to start proving and not wait till it’s 9-1 in the 6th inning.

I mean, maybe?  Are you completely sure that France doesn't give up a solo shot that inning?  It wasn't crazy for Dusty to give Framber - a proven post-season performer - a chance to right the ship and get you 5 innings.  You don't just dump your ace after two innings in which he wasn't really hit that hard.
