That was my immediate consideration, but with pitch comm theres no way they are stealing signs. Could he be tipping? Or is its just their game plan working really well?

EDmuch 2022-10-30 00:24:52 UTC #29

Well that is not how I hoped it would start.

We cant afford to give them extra outs.

EastFallowfield 2022-10-30 00:30:41 UTC #34

Game 2s are our kryptonite, except for the one in St Louis

zambonir 2022-10-30 00:31:24 UTC #35

Guess this is what they brought Nick Nelson back for

(But it's never over with this team. Maybe this is Wheeler's Tom Glavine type first inning).

That third run is a bit of a killer. Still I won't lose faith in them, they certainly haven't considered the possibility they won't win any game this postseason.
