1 GB regardless who wins the extra inning game in Tampa.

McFarland got a win at Fenway!

Has TJ become one of our trusted relievers at this point?

0 ERA, 0.80 WHIP in September.

...Oh wait. Tiny sample size (6.0 IP).

O's!

Well I hope Tillman pitches a gem tomorrow because a lot of our guys won't be available.

Probably not available:

Jim Johnson (3 games in 4 nights)
Tommy Hunter (3 games in 4 nights, 2 innings tonight)
TJ McFarland (Back to back nights)
Gausman (3 games in 4 nights, 2 innings tonight)

Which leaves:
O'day (maybe he comes back?)
K-Rod
Patton
Matusz
Stinson
S. Johnson

If O'day isn't available and Tillman has a short outing, it could get scary. Steve might have to take one for the team if the game gets out of hand. Especially since Matusz and Patton are matchup guys for the most part.

And before someone criticizes me for lacking faith in Tilly, look at our record of finishing off sweeps. Also we are facing a better team, on the road.

I'm a bit concerned with our defense the past few games. Manny seemed to have a minny melt down and last night Roberts. What is going on with these guys?
