Street can handle one more day...
The first save was one batter and 5 pitches.

He should be able to go today

Excellent use of Rincon,
IMO--at least neutralize T's power. I'm assuming no Street available, Calero faces the rest after Rincon.

then by YOU mentioning NOT to mention it, it all negatizes. And besides, it worked. What can I say? I never said I understood it...it's just something I made up on the spot.
