BAL: Gonzalez (9-9 , 4.73 ERA) KC: Duffy (6-6 , 4.18 ERA)

It's winning time!

Hoch is just filthy, hes back to his 2013 form it seems.

**lewdog** · 08-25-2015, 08:21 PM

I'm glad most of you guys aren't running our pitching changes and burning our big guys out all year long.

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 08:21 PM

the Hoch and Davis cutter are things of beauty

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 08:22 PM

I think Holland is unavailable, anyways, with a "cranky" arm

Yes, still day to day. I say he's likely out all series here. I don't see a reason to use him.

bsroyals54 · 08-25-2015, 08:22 PM

With a painted 96 mph fastball lower outside corner to boot.

okcchief · 08-25-2015, 08:23 PM

This year he likes to stagger Madson and Hochaver and use the other 2. I have no problem with that either. Playoff will be HDH unless one (Holland) shits the bed.

I'm sensing sarcasm from Bob Dole.

Hoch has all of the stuff, its insane. All of his pitches are good

okcchief · 08-25-2015, 08:24 PM

Hoch has looked really good recently. The rich keep getting richer.

bsroyals54 · 08-25-2015, 08:25 PM

Would of gave him a breaking ball, I dont know about that 0-2 pitch.

kstater · 08-25-2015, 08:26 PM

That's crazy that it's such a round number to get back to .500 as a coach.

bsroyals54 · 08-25-2015, 08:26 PM

I think Ned is practicing his playoff bullpen managing.

Hootie · 08-25-2015, 08:28 PM

I really don't care who Ned uses when it comes down to Herrera, Madson or Hochevar. They're all about the same to me. Even Holland but I doubt Ned ever relieves him from his closer role. Davis is the guy in the tier all by himself. I almost wish Ned would use Davis in jams as opposed to just giving him the 8th inning ... but meh. You can't get everything you want.

**ChiTown** · 08-25-2015, 08:28 PM

Herrera to finish the 7th, Madson in the 8th and Davis for the close
