Most of the time, I would think because of spin, you'd like to see Fisher in that spot.

But if Nance is in your bullpen sooner or later, he's going to have to get some big outs.

You know, you bring him in for nothing, give him a little cushion to maybe make some mistakes.

He did that.

The two-out walk to the eight-hole hitter is a no-no.

You can't do that, right, with the lead.

Then it forces John to have to bring in his best arm.

You never want to do that, right?

Just that up-down with your closer is never a good thing, especially kind of where they're at in the season, how much Louie's pitched, kind of how much every pitch matters when he comes into the game.

But they got it done.

That's all that matters.

You know, you're beating teams you're supposed to beat on the road, which is what they did.

I think they're big fans of Tommy Nance.

They like his spin.

They like that he can get a lefty out.

Yeah, it is funny how every time he's in the game or he starts a game, how he does something good, right?

It was his defensive play.

Always in the middle of something, he is.

Always doing something well, right?

The play he ran back to the fence and made that play leading off an inning, that was a big-time play.
