If he didn’t swing at the perfectly hittable 3-1 pitch... you don’t get to complain about the barely out of the zone 3-2 pitch (that was also hittable, and likely too close to take).
Without a for-sure closer, they should be playing for multiple runs when they’re the road team. Now, Paredes may be a for-sure closer in waiting...
Strom needs a “calm down” buzzer for the rookie pitchers. They’re all going to have AB’s like the one Paredes just had to Laureano... when a much better hitter on deck.
