No ****ing way.
We have Yordano tonight...
First sign of anything...he comes in, and beasts it up to 101 tonight for 2 innings.
Shields is allowed to give up 2 runs before we start warming someone up...
Ned has no excuse to pitch anyone other than Wade or Holland with multiple runners on with less than 2 outs in any inning...
if he wants to give Shields 1 batter in this situation, maybe...but Yordano and someone else should be up and ready
