    Yes - because of the extra round in the playoffs, everything got squished together. And they are trying to get the season done ASAP because of all the Covid concerns.

    Postseason is more reflective of regular season baseball this year since you have to run out your crappier pitchers. It benefits the deeper teams.

    That was about as good as could be expected for Greinke's first inning. So important for him to keep his pitch count down, and aside from that first pitch, his locating has looked great. If he gives you 4-5 solid innings today, they have to feel good about that.

    Were a seasoned post season club, we dont need that fake fluff passionate speech, especially from the likes of a laureano.

    The core of this squad is so talented all around. Beautiful defensive plays or big run jacks. Just another day at the office for them.
