    I think you stick with Urquidy for Game 4. I'd much rather see Lance start the Win or Go Home game instead of Framber.

    If we do go to Game 5, you could always start Lance and Framber could be first out of the pen. Don't hate that.

            Garcia struck out Grandal not once but twice before he homered a few pitches later. It was an absolute game changer and effectively ended Garcia’s night. He should have made it out of that inning with a 5-1 lead. A long inning and lots of extra pitches got the better of him. That was on the plate ump. Garcia did his job exceptionally. Too bad the ump didn’t. His scorecard from last night was atrocious.

              I have full faith in Urquidy getting it done against the weakass cw offense if it isn’t 9 vs 10 again tomorrow. If it is it won’t matter who is on the mound.

                I agree I leave Urquidy in and have McCullers for a possible game 5

                  I'd pitch Urq tomorrow. I think he'll beat 'em.

                      Im not surprised. Dusty and I view pitching very differently. Of course he's getting paid millions for his view, .

                      I think the way he has handled game 1 and 2 and now game 4.......he has basically told a lot of the pitching staff he doesnt trust them to get it done.

                        Yes. But he keeps bringing in Yimi Garcia in high leverage situations…I still can’t figure that out

                          Rays gone. We now have home field advantage in conference finals, if we get there. LFG!

                            Would you trust them?

                              Do I trust Urquidy, 100% yes. Do I trust Grienke, Raley and Javier to get 6 outs before giving up 6 runs.....I would have at least put one in each of those first two games with a very short leash before rolling out Pressly AND Graveman on back to back nights. Hell, in game one and two they only had to get 3 outs in the 9th before giving up 5 runs.

                                I think it’s the right move. Lance has ice water in his veins. The moment won’t be too big for him. I want him in that hostile environment. Although Urquidy has never shown signs of nervousness, I trust Lance in this spot. Do your best not to go to a game 5 where anything can happen. Lance might get killed today, but that’s how baseball be😄
