Uncle Mike won the game, but I think Tucker should have been interviewed. I, mean, he will be. I won't be up for it...probably. Getting that game-tying single with one out left in the game was an enormous hit. Huge pressure hit. I hope this walkoff gets Brantley back doing Brantley things night to night. His little slump has not been fun, and this is a perfect way to end it.
He was being interviewed by some outlet in the dugout. He had on a headset and was talking, so perhaps it was the radio guys.
Free World Series tickets? Hell yeah! Wait, let me think for a second about my compensation packages at work. I'm getting paid to take World Series tickets? HELL YEAH!
Found it. Here are the strike zone maps for all the pitches called by Joe West tonight. I'd suggest reading the info below the maps that explains how to properly read them. Keep in mind that these are maps from the ump's perspective, not the pitcher. There are some pretty egregious outliers, I'd say, but take a look for yourself; I'm going to bed.

That's actually the strike zone map for when Randy Johnson hit the bird. Computer fail. Error. Error. Error.
Miley has been awful in his last 5 starts. Somehow we're 4-1 in those games, but that won't fly in October. The BABIP gods are striking back hard with a .475, but his command has not been sharp at all. We're likely counting on this guy to make at least one start per series so lets hope he gets back in the groove. He really doesn't need to be as good as he's been most of the season, but he does need to keep us in games
Proud to say I kept watching even after we went down 0-7. I've been burned too many times with this team over the last few years. In a good way, of course. I did, however, fall asleep in the top of the 12th.... Woke up right after the walk-off and rewound to see what happened. Thank god for the DVR. Props to those fans at MMP who stayed till the end on a weeknight. Those fans are hardcore.
