3-run lead in the 9th at home, bring in your stud closer with a 1.06 ERA.

He’s been lights out for us, just did not have it last night. 4 hits, a walk, 3 runs until he got pulled.

The worst thing is we used a bunch of pitchers (all of our best relievers) so the bullpen is burned. And today we have to play a DH vs a big-hitting team. Unless we get the starters to go very deep, we might get our doors blown off.

The way we lost that game and the circumstances it left us with for today... I don’t think it’s overstating it to say that today is crucial to how the season turns.
