He finished the 8th. Not sure why he didn’t come back out.

Maybe it’s just me, but it’s probably not a good idea to walk the potential winning run. :shrug:

If Varland blows this, I'd consider calling up Perales up as a soft entry to be their new closer.

Throwing fastballs by Cruz was the :shock:

Varland is the new Chief. Butera so wants to use Beeter as the highest-lev guy.
