“Well we haven’t had a situation really to get him in there, that he’s gonna get stretched out like we need him to. And we’re also in that spot that if we get a chance to get somebody into one and hit a home run, and we don’t have anybody at the back end of this game to throw multiple innings, we’re in a bad place. It’s exactly the same situation that I told you before the first series. This is his role right now. Now, it could change tomorrow if guys don’t feel well, since we’ve used the bullpen pretty hard, so, it could be different. But, we keep kind of talking about this and it’s the same answer. This is what he has to be prepared for and he will. And when he gets his chance, I know he’ll be sharp.”

During the regular season, Randy Choate appeared once in the fifth inning and a handful of times in the sixth but more often not the reliever came on in the later innings for the St. Louis Cardinals. However, the postseason is different and in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, the lefty was called upon to get the final out of the fourth inning.
