I was a little surprised at pulling Q early, but I think I'm fine with it. I'll take 5 innings with 1 run and not push my luck, especially considering the Brewers got some good swings in on him

I'm just worried about burning out our incredibly-depleted bullpen when there's a very good chance of there being a game tomorrow.

Yeah I guess I could go both ways on it. On one hand you don't want to burn your pen if you have to play tomorrow (and the offense hasn't exactly looked competitive so that feels likely). On the other they had 3 righties coming up in the middle of the order.

The ump really hosed Aguilar there
called a strike on a ball way outside and he had to protect for the rest of the ab as a result.

It wasn't that far out, almost kissed the edge I thought.

He was supposed to be a 30 HR threat. I think Chili Davis broke him.

If Chili Davis were coaching the first baseball team on the moon, he'd probably advise them to hit line drives the other way.

I'm pretty sure LHP can't throw sliders that cut away from Javy out of the strike zone but it's game 163 so who knows.

Yadi’s ancient rear end hit 20 this year. Can we assume after his ball exploded he got a dispensation to take all the steroids?

No. He just swings way too hard in big moments.
