    I don’t think pulling Greinke after 4 makes much sense..... but the announcers are reading and reacting to it all wrong. I mean judging body language and isolation on the part of Greinke? Have they ever met him.

    How the hell did Buxton just watch strike 3 on that curve? He had thrown 5 straight curves and Buxton stands there on a pitch in the zone.

    I don't like the decision to pull Greinke after 4 though

    Good job by Valdez to bounce back and get two big outs. Now one more buddy lets go!

    If Valdez can get through the fifth unscathed, I’ll be somewhat understanding. However, 79 pitches is too few for our ace in game one of a best-of-3 series.

    He's gotten three outs already, but ump is making him get 4.

    Man, Framber looks like a stud. Completely different pitcher than last year. What a surprise and quality force in our rotation for years to come.

    Good job by Click not trusting when to let Dusty make the call of when to go to Framber. Greinke may have been able to go more, but Click can't tell Dusty that during the game. All Click needs is the offense and Framber to make him look good in last 4 innings.

    He used to be, but his numbers were pretty good this year for what it's worth.
