Earvin Santana has a complete game 3 hit shutout through eight.
Santana has thrown 88 pitches, has not broken a sweat.
Not a save situation, surely you bring out Santana, "take the ball kid, finish what you started, you earned your shutout"
Right?
No, here comes Walden to start the ninth, walk, K, single,
Here comes Gonzo to give him the hook.
Here comes Mr. Automatic, Kimbrel, walk, K, single, single
4-3 now
If I'm Santana, and Braves blow this, I kill Gonzo
