Javier Assad

The two runs that were scored tonight were both walks.

Holmes had three walks today in game one and later today Javier Assad does a great job but then he gives up a walk.

Then Rolison gives up a walk and those things come back to bite you and you can't do it in postseason baseball.

Can't give up homers, you can't give up walks and the walks one should be real easy to take care of.

Like he said, I don't really care who starts the games.

However that plays out, I just want guys to pitch well, and I guess I'm almost equally confident in each one that they can do it, and I'm also equally confident that if they don't, that there's another guy that can get into the mix.

I will say that I would, after watching him again today, Javier Assad's gotta be on the playoff roster, right? Ass Man's gotta be in the mix.

I mean, that was bang, bang, bang.

That then rolls it over to, to tomorrow is then you have to do the calculus of who you burn in tomorrow.

Because whoever you burn tomorrow probably is not on that playoff roster, and when I say that, I mean Javier Assad, I mean Colin Ray.

I don't think it's Aaron Zavala 'cause Aaron Zavala pitched today.

You will definitely see Gavin Hallowell tomorrow.

Yeah, I agree, and, and I think it does depend heavily on if this game is played.

The, the forecast looks pretty terrible for, for Boston on Saturday.

So assuming they get through tonight and there's no rain delay or reschedule or any of that, and, uh, tomorrow is seriously in jeopardy, and if they cancel tomorrow's game, they'll probably push it to Sunday in Tampa Bay and allow both teams the time to travel, which puts Shoda on regular rest, but it also puts what you're talking about, Joey, Javier Assad.

You know, he hasn't pitched much this week.
