Severino with 65 pitches through two innings.......... that was 7-8 innings for Greg Maddux or John Tudor.
I would really like to thank Gurriel for swinging at the first pitch after a quick at bat by Bregman..... way to work that pitch count Gurriel
Pitchers have figured out that Alvarez is prime Babe Ruth if he is up in the count 1-0 and he is Josh Reddick if he is down 0-1
If you have a bullet in the gun you fire it. Game 5 Verlander is either to send us home needing to win 1 of 2 home games to advance. Or he would be pitching to save our bacon cause we are down 3-1. Orrrr maybe he is pitching to close out the series. All of those reasons are good reasons to pitch JV game 5 if he has had full rest. Yordan is bamboozled right now. He doesn't know which way is up.
He swung at a strike for sure...... It is mostly me being frustrated, they had a chance to knock Severino out if they had got his pitch count up.
Yuli: Don't swing at the first pitch. Everyone else except Altuve: Swing at the first pitch. Altuve: Do what you must. You're killing it.
