When you're down to 2 1/2 starters you get a lot of bullpen games.

Why is Salty working the game tonight? I understand it wasn't planned, but cannot find out why. Hoping it's not another scare.

They mentioned Jerry had an upset stomach and emphasized that it was all he had.  Salty lives in Florida so was fairly close by.

So you want them to have guys who are hurt playing?  Bogey got the night off, big deal.

Oh, good. thanks for replying.

Cora once again testing his luck last night by allowint the pathetic Chacin to start the fourth inning and the result was another Cora personnel blunder and what resulted in another loss.  Astounding just how fast and far the manager has fallen this season---one mistake after another.  But he won a WS last season so he will get another chance in 2020 to rectify his disastrous second helping.

So who does he go to in that situation?  Cashner?  Walden?  Taylor?  He needs to ride anyone of these guys as long as he can.  Chacin was blowing through them in the first 3 innings.  Poyner out of the pen was the one who poured gasoline on the fire.  I'm happy for all of our sakes this season is over shortly!

He could pitch Barnes and Workman two innings as this stage of the season  to see if they can be effective doing that and maybe give Cora a chance to get a line for next season.  Besides, by now he h as to know which relievers can be counted on and which ones he cannot---like Schwaryn, Webber, Kelley, and Lakins, just to name four who have no damn business being on the team and show no potential to be contributing  members now or in the future.  If they pitch at all the rest of the season it should be mop up if we get behind or in there if we have at least a seen or eight run lead.
