...No save chance now... Helsley can sit back down...

[craviduce]

bring Ryan Fernandez in to start the 9th, so Helsley can get a Save

[Cusecards]

I think they might bring Helsley in??
Give him some work.
Off day Thursday also.

Willson had a chance to go above the Mendoza Line there, coming into that AB at .198

didn't happen

I would...he's in desperate need of work. This is the right decision. No matter the score

[cardstatman]

I don't mind Helsley here but he should be on a 20 pitch limit.

ROFLMAO

And some during spring training still wanted him in AAA Memphis fit more seasoning this year.
They wanted Noot in CF. Lol

[Cusecards]

I don't mind Helsley here but he should be on a 20 pitch limit.

Has he pitched on this road trip???

[craviduce]

Oh Noes...we actually might need Ryan Fernandez in the 9th

Come on Helsley...finish this, stop walking people

[12xu]

Just as Chip was praising the home plate ump tonight, he missed two perfect strikes to Ozuna.

[Cusecards]

Following on Gameday.
Is Helsley getting boned???

[82birds]

who closes tomorrow if we need a closer?

[cardstatman]

Has he pitched on this road trip???

21 pitches on the 16th.

If he throws 30+ pitches Oli will have managed to pitch Leahy twice in a row with a 3-run lead and then Helsley with a 6-run lead and both will be challenged to be available for tomorrow's game.

Helsley should be pounding the strike zone with a 6 run lead, but he apparently can't.
