It’s fun, and you try and prepare and keep it all the same, but inside you’re riding it.“We also have a lot of different guys in different scenarios in the back end of games right now that haven’t been there all year. So it’s a little like pulling the right lever is important, and doing all your homework and trusting the human. Sometimes I trust the heartbeat. Sometimes I trust the information.
With the wild-card race heating up, they’re looking for Ross to make all the right moves, and for the team’s biggest stars, including Cody Bellinger, Dansby Swanson and Justin Steele, to come through when they’re needed the most.
