The only guy who can pinch run for JD or Schwarber just Ked meekly and is now burned. If they were replacing Plawecki with Vazquez, then why not just pinch hit Vaz?
0-2 hanger to their worst hitter, leading off. After all the high stress pitches last inning, and now facing the top of the order... it's inevitable now.
f***ing Great Nate. One bad pitch, but many great ones.
We still got ourselves a game. If that doesn't inspire some offense -- and I don't care if it's smallball -- nothing will.
