    Verlander did that to himself. Shame. 4 pitch walk. Started with that high out of control fastball. But still time to recover.

    Springer wasn't exactly busting his ass to get over there and back him up. Balls take crazy bounces off the antique scoreboard.

    Both guys score regardless though, once the ball ricocheted the way it did.

    Soto acts like a bad guy in an animated baseball movie by Disney.

    Soto annoys me at the plate....I give him all the credit in the world for being a talented hitter, but man he's up there acting like he's babe ruth with the way he acts.

    Well we have to score runs. It’s only 2 right now. This is recoverable but I worry about the bats having to come from behind already.

    we can be aggressive but we don’t make that kind of contact when we do we swing for the fences

    It's basically been downhill ever since the 3-day start... the unnecessary 3-day.
    Yes. I've expressed the same thought on this board.

    We seem to be getting beat by it more in the postseason than the regular season. Not sure if the numbers bear that out though

    Man... I don't want to lose this in the first inning.
    Guy we are facing is really good.
    Nats score 4 runs and we may be in trouble.

    It's the playoffs. Smart/Good teams adjust to how you defend them. The Nationals are a smart hitting team and adjust.

    Damn, I didn't know games only went half an inning now. MLB was serious about shortening the time of games.
