October 23, 20223 yr I'm more than a little worried about Thor's flat fastball against Soto and Machado. May not be incredibly easy to keep those in the park.
October 23, 20223 yr I’m guessing we are about to see some order of dominguez, Alvarado and Robertson over the next 3 with a possible guest appearance by nola

I’m doubting thor faces soto. I’m guessing they try to use Alvarado when he comes up. If they get the first two batters means can use Alvarado for just soto and if he gets him out then 8th and 9th could go Robertson, dominguez and nola

We've regretted each cute pitching decision so far tonight. If Thor can survive the next inning...and his pitch count is very low...6 outs from the pitchers you mentioned feels a lot less intimidating than 9.

Once it gets to soto I’m guessing we go lefty vs. lefty

If we are really going to get into the weeds with the minutia...if Avalrado isn't so fresh tonight, then his night is probably over at the conclusion of the inning if you bring him in for Soto. Even if the pitch count is low, it's tough to bring a low rest single inning type reliever in for a few pitches, let him cool off on the bench, and then bring him out again. I'd want to count on Thor/Avalrado combining for the 7th only. I'd be prepared to look elsewhere for 8/9.

If Thor gets the first two batters then Alvarado comes in i think he’s only out there to finish the 7th. 8th inning is likely dominguez or Robertson

I'd give Robertson the lean part of the lineup in the 8th. If you get to the 9th with the lead, then it's all hands on deck to win it.
