I think it’s going to be Holton for four outs.

I think the 4 out thing is going to be Hinch's contribution to future std practice. Old conventional wisdom was to avoid the up and down, but bring a guy in to get the one out, he's mentally more ready to start the ninth.

EDIT: OK, no coal for Riley

[gehringer_2]

We need to get a run off Hader to make Espada think about it being possible.

[romad1]

Cmon boys.  Lets get one more run here.

[Sports_Freak]

Hang onto your hats, here comes the 9th!!

[gehringer_2]

They wanted to keep the save in order for Holton.....

[Sports_Freak]

Total stress. 1,2,3 please.

[gehringer_2]

OK - amend that....

[lordstanley]

Foley, hmm, nervous now. 

[chasfh]

OK, well, I don’t know how much I like this, but OK …

[Tigermojo]

Why AJ?

[chasfh]

Ack

[guy incognito]

Goddammit

[lordstanley]

Leadoff batter on.  Foley has to get next 3 in a row or else we will face a tying run at the plate scenario.

on the bright side, it gets Alvarez out of the game.

[SoCalTiger]

Surprised Holten didn't get Alvarez

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

COME ON

[lordstanley]

2 on, 0 out. Eek!!!

[guy incognito]

Whew

[chasfh]

Sweeney just saved us a run. I would gladly trade a run for a double play.
