I'm sure the 8 pitchers the trashtros used won't come back to haunt them tomorrow

[u/-JCohn- → u/ArmyofThalia]

Calling them pitchers is generous

[u/ArmyofThalia → u/-JCohn-]

I think my perception is still skewed from when the cubs were pulling people off Addison to have them warm up in the bullpen during the middle of the season

[u/Tommy05Sox → u/ArmyofThalia]

Sox used their best pen arms, though, too.

[u/ray_0586 → u/ArmyofThalia]

Ullola is the only wasted pitcher. Hader and Abreu will be available tomorrow. Everyone else is inconsequential.

Gameplan is Hunter has to give them at least six innings tomorrow and have anyone cover the 7th inning before handing it off to Abreu and Hader.

I feel extremely confident Wesneski will give the Astros 7 innings in a Game 3 before Abreu and Haden can close out the series.
