I’ll trust Buck on this one. Diaz had 5 days off. I have to think spitting up a 5 run lead at home would have been a disaster. We ALL would have been a little salty If this one got away. He rode the horse. He won the bet. We are at the point of the season where you win the game today. The risk is tomorrow as he probably won’t have Diaz. However, he locked down the game TODAY. We probably have to sweat out a Lugo, May, and whoever game. Heck, Walker has been good for us. Maybe he takes us deep tomorrow night.
I too am eating some Voglebach humble pie. He’s feasting on RHP. I also expected nothing from Naquin but I’ll be damned. Tonight alone he paid off.
