A 31 certainly kept Christopher in the game - coming on and covering the 4 point was the only move in town. Back to the Herd with another double to play, though not as nice as the last one.

I think we need to hold the bar point so that our runner has a landing spot.  And if he makes that point we're going to have a hard time extricating the runner.

Holding on to the midpoint would be strategic, but the only way to hold it is to either give up the bar point or crunch our forward structure.  So, the midpoint has to go.
