Olson is safe at 2nd.. inning not over

[LoneStarPhan]

Calling for replay. Looked to me like he was safe on the live action.

Replay confirms safe. Now two on, two out.

Turner should have had an out if he went to first although I don't know that to be true.

Somehow, a ground ball to short ends up getting Suarez out of the game. Hoffman to come on to pitch.

[bkox]

Pitching change... Hoffman coming in. Not sure I agree with this

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

I don't care how many days of rest the bullpen may have in the series, I think this is a mistake taking Suarez out so soon.

[Aquapong]

Yeah this is strange to take Ranger out.

[zambonir]

They pretty much said they were going to do this before the game even happened

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

I know, but it still doesn't make any sense.

[zambonir]

Olson was the guy Ranger had to get to stay in the game. He should have lasted until Harris but it didn't work out.

[LoneStarPhan]

I have read numerous things today about Ranger going once through the order, facing the first 15 hitters, etc. For some reason, the feeling is that Suarez couldn't pitch his normal game.

[VoteForKalas]

Do not agree with the hook on Suarez there. He was pitching well and had two outs.

[zambonir]

Of course if Hoffman has the face Harris we are in trouble

[kikutaro]

Marcell Ozuna

On-field Delay.
Mound Visit.
Pitching Change: Jeff Hoffman replaces Ranger Suarez.
Swinging strike (87.7 mph slider)
Ball in dirt (89. mph slider)
Ball in dirt (90.5 mph splitter)
Ball (87.9 mph slider)
Swinging strike (89.5 mph slider)
Ball (87.3 mph slider)

Marcell Ozuna walks. Matt Olson to 3rd. Ozzie Albies to 2nd.

[LoneStarPhan]

Bases loaded. This is a huge moment in this game and likely, this series.

[Aquapong]

Ozuna should be out. Onora missed a terrible one for ball3.

[bkox]

Ozuna should be out. Onora missed a terrible one for ball3.
