Yep, when you're up big the #1 priority is to throw strikes, even if you get hit a little bit. He was doing just fine until this inning, which is longer than a closer normally asked to go.

Self scares me here because he's prone to give up the HR. Could easily be 9-6 in a hurry.

He was doing fine until the ump squeezed him even with the amount of pitches he had thrown. 9-3 going to the bottom of the seventh.

Attaboy, Self!!
3 pitch K

Good pitching after getting ahead in the count there by Self. Still think Cole was a victim of an umpire who decided he was going to squeeze the strike zone. Doesn't help to hit the corners if the ump won't call it a strike.

Kentucky up 3-0 on OM in the 5th of their second inning game. Would be a big help if KY can complete the sweep.

Cole should be good for 120 pitches, he's country strong
He gave up a HR in first inning too.
Not hating Cole, but this is his first year as a "closer". He's been our first out from the bullpen.

Giving up a solo HR when you're up 9-0 is not a big deal. Again, when you're up big, just throw strikes.

Westburg with the RBI double 10-3

Westburg double and RBI
10-3

I dont understand what some of you alls problem is. I trust Gordon a lot in that closer spot. He has proven it over 2 years. And even if he was not the guy who the hell else do you trust more?

There’s a different mentality when it’s a 1-2 run game vs an 8-9 run lead. Thought Cole pitched decently. I’m not going to bitch whatsoever in a 10-3 game.

Rowdey and Allen are approaching .300. No easy outs in our lineup now.

Glad to have Tanner Allen back producing

Yeah, they are just finding things to bitch about at this point.

Then if Gilbert continues to hit dingers where is the hole?
