Mike MahoneyGUEST
He could also be a middle late relief guy.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
I think that I'm, I'm to the point where I am comfortable enough with him being a more successful analog of Matt Festa that I can accept a seventh inning and Sean Armstrong into an eighth inning, Eric Sabrowski in an eighth inning, Kate Smith.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
I will survive.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
I will do my best to not complain or worry about that.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
Would you open with a Matt Festa? Absolutely not.
Quincy WheelerHOST
No.
Mike MahoneyGUEST
There's only a few people that you can really rule out, though, because this is such a talented and deep staff.
Brice PaterikHOST
Nathaniel Lowe at first base.
Brice PaterikHOST
Matt Festa and Sean Armstrong in the bullpen.
Brice PaterikHOST
Rays have a former Ranger catcher.
Brice PaterikHOST
farmhand Liam Hicks as their everyday catcher and Nick Martinez as I believe their game two starter Dodgers don't have anybody on their active roster but somehow this year Jonathan Hernandez yes that Jonathan Hernandez pitched seven more innings in the regular season than Edwin Diaz for the 2026 100 win NOS champion Los Angeles Dodgers I don't I don't know how that makes sense, but somehow it also makes sense.
MegHOST
So I was like, aw.
MegHOST
But shout out to Matt Festa and Tanner Bybee, my boys.
MegHOST
By the way, and I tweeted this out the other day and I'm going to repeat it now, especially after watching the celebrations.
MegHOST
I'm tired of pretending that Matt Festa isn't cool as fuck.
MegHOST
I can't.
MegHOST
Because he is.
MegHOST
So incredibly Italian.
MegHOST
I hope he buys an espresso machine for them next year.
Paul HoynesHOST
Yeah.
Paul HoynesHOST
So, you know, there, there's a lot of good choices there, Joe, that, uh, and, you know, Matt Festa is, is a guy that's, you know, has, uh, you know, made a lot of appearance, 66 appearances for the guardians this year.
Paul HoynesHOST
Uh, really works hard.
Paul HoynesHOST
So, yeah, I'm not sure which way they're going.
Michael FilipkowskiHOST
We'll see if Tanner Bybee turns it on for the playoffs or whether it'll be Joey Cantillo or Slade Sessioni or someone else.
Michael FilipkowskiHOST
But relief pitching with Colin Holderman, Hunter Gattis, Matt Festa.
Michael FilipkowskiHOST
It's good.
Michael FilipkowskiHOST
It's a good group.
Jim RosenhausHOST
But they add two more.
Jim RosenhausHOST
Kansas City's Salvador Perez launched a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to make it 12-9, but that was as close as the Royals would get as Matt Festa finished the job.

It's Tim Heron.

It is Matt Festa at 2.01.

The bullpen was solid.

Matt Festa was really good last night.
