    So proud of Springer over the years to lay off those pitches to the outside.

    You have to remember who he was facing there. The top of the order is way more dangerous and difficult to get out. Longer pitch counts in those innings are to be expected.

    ...and Springer tries to pull an outside FB and rolls it over to the SS

    tailor made pitch to take to RF

    Can’t try to win the game with every swing.

    I don’t understand how the adjustment hasn’t been made. We are also not taking any approach to actually hand the baton off as they like to say......hero ball

    Strasburg looked a little more locked in that inning.

    Need JV to come up big for us tonight.

    Strasburg can go all 9 at this rate. Can’t let them have 10 pitch innings.
