I get that it’s a game in April but it feels like Holmes has been pedestrian since his meltdown against the Reds last season. It also shows how great he was before that point but maybe the leash should be shortened a bit from now on.

Holmes days as closer are numbered

Which makes bringing him in to pitch the 8th made no fukking sense, especially after what we watched in Cleveland.

Year 6 and Boone is still clueless

I get what Boone was doing there.

Heart of the order and they all right handed. Use Wandyvision to close with lefties due up that inning.

I honestly can’t fault Boone there tbh

I’m actually not overly concerned if that happens as I think Marinaccio, Wandy, or King are perfectly capable of sliding over to the closer role. I just want to minimize Holmes’ damage to the team as much as possible :mjlol:

Nah, it was dumb, especially when he had Marinaccio warming up in the 7th

Holmes is mediocre, he just had a meltdown two days earlier, but you bring him in the 8th against the heart of the Twins lineup? It's stupid.
