Leave Neff in to start the 9th? Then France gets a dominant K, and then you take him out?

Waiting for Gordon to come in now...

I understand that, but Smith’s stuff needs to be better. He would be getting hit hard at almost every level missing middle-middle.

It does. Bringing in Smith makes sense. Neff isn't your closer, why let him start the 9th in a 1-run game? Then you bring in France, who quickly gets a clutch K, and you yank him?

Give Smith a clean start to the 9th. Then you have France if you need him. Or vice versa. But definitely don't burn your hottest pitcher after 1 batter.

Using these weekend guys

mid week, I doubt he wanted to stress out any of them...at all.

Not sure what we would had done, had we gone to the 10th.

I was wondering the same thing. It would have been a true boneheaded move if Bianco and LA hadn't bailed Henderson out.

That was a boneheaded decision by Henderson and the team won in spite of his mismanagement of the bullpen in the 9th. Leave France, your hottest pitcher, in to finish the game. I can’t wait for the “hire Henderson” crowd of our fanbase to start banging the drum when we make a regional. Smh 🤦*♂️

We could make it all the way to Omaha, and I can assure you this drum will not be banged.

I don't want Henderson either, but if we somehow make it to Omoha, how could you not at least consider him?

A) Omaha is crazy talk (although I'd argue hiring Henderson under any circumstances would be crazier talk)

B) We can do a lot better--and will.
