I assume Uribe is still good to go today. They’re probably thinking Mears for the 8th and Uribe for the 9th right now.

[willie key]

One more inning from priester would have felt like 3-4 innings to this relief staff.    Frustrating.   Hopefully they hold it but it really hasn’t t been good lately these late innings 

[Fairweather_Crew]

Who do we trust on our relief staff. Do I trust Koenig? I'm nervous, I don't know.  But a couple Ks helps😊.   I always trust Uribe.

[Bulldogboy]

Ok. Koenig

I am guessing Koenig gets 2 innings. 

[adambr2]

Gausman got a much lower pitched called a strike than that 0-2 “ball” to France.

[bensheeps]

I like a rested Koenig

[Fairweather_Crew]

Time for a couple runs!!

[ReverendBrewmeister]

That’s some tidy relief work by Koenig.

Time for a cluster of runs from the offense.

[BCF]

Strikes out the side lmao 

[HarryDoyle]

Wow, Koenig was filthy today.

I can’t stand the way Murphy manages in game pitching decisions. I seldom if ever agree with him. Otherwise he’s a swell guy with a big personality. I honestly love many things about him … but good grief on pulling effective starters too soon. 

I’m going to watch college football & check back in a bit. I fear we may fall behind late because of his premature removal of Priester. 

Hope I’m completely wrong. 

You said yesterday you couldn’t watch Freddy pitch, now you’re gonna watch football…hang in there man

And he had to overcome a missed call third strike that would have ended it two pitches earlier

[duewizard]

8-9-1 up next. I'd keep Koenig but have someone up in the pen. Strong inning

Same thought

[kevinisaname]

We got great Koenig.

Possibly, will face Gimenez for sure now I imagine.

Has Koenig ever come out for a second inning?

[Fairweather_Crew]

Like last game? Tough Bluebird starter and blow up the relief? 💯

[kevinisaname]

Let's get some runs!

Freddy allowed a total of 1 run in August. We need to stop with the Freddy slander around here.

[edfunderburk]

A win today would be huge

Winning a series against the AL’s best team in the road would be awesome

This team plays hard everyday 

Hopefully we pull this one out & I can relax for tomorrow’s Sunday lineup special 

[BCF]

Should have put in Sigler 

[kevinisaname]

Ugh, DP.

Did it a bunch last year. He has only done it a couple times this season for another our or two but I don't think ever went 2IP.
