Are you on Nelli terms with Cruz?
I tried to emasculate him by making his name sound feminine. Sorry. Anger brought out my inner misogynist. But I'm working on it.

Crikey. Bring me your poor, your tired, your failed starters, and they shall throw an unhittable late inning. Andrew Miller and Wade Davis left the rotation and saw God.

Wait... was that 94 MPH pitch really a "breaking ball?"
 
Not a naaaaasty Good-Daniel-Bard style two seamer?
 
Damn.

I think the fear is the hitter just bunts it 3 feet, catcher pounces on it, spins and touches the plate - force out. 
 
The other fear, though, is that O'Day gets slow-ass Butler to hit a ground ball.

Nice Wade. Remember when he was the throw-in with Shields, when TB fleeced the Royals?
 
He may prove to be more valuable than Shields is to the Royals chances.  The Royals made out pretty well on that deal regardless.  Of course, the prospect humpers here will never agree or admit it.

If it was the regular season ,they wouldn't be playing in this shower, right? Why now, when games are even more important?
If you have a question that starts with "why," see if you can eliminate sex or revenge as answers. If so, the answer is money.

Alex does it again! That's why Miller hit him.
 
ed: and it's why O'Day is a ROOGY, not a RLR.

Yep, it's a slider/cutter, not a sinker. Davis' stuff is wicked pissah.
