I thought it was out at first, but the more I see it the more I'm convinced it should have been a homer. Serves them right for cheating.
I think Cora gambled everything on the win tonight. Anything tomorrow will be a bonus. Especially against Verlander.
Yeah I guess he wanted Kimbrel for the heart of their order, but it certainly raised my eyebrow.
I assume he's coming back out for the 9th. Under the Kimbrel law of giving up a run every inning, we should win this 8 7 right? Right??
He only threw 6 pitches in that inning so all good from that point of view, but he's been sitting a long time between innings. Big call this. Barnes will be in at first sign of trouble.
Brasier is nails. What a monster he;s been for us.
I could see the idea behind putting Bergman up top. But they'd have been better off taking his walks.
