Realistically, I'm hoping for a split, to continue our record of not having lost a series this season.

Show us your best, Grienke!

At least Avila's bat will stay in the rack. :)

For what it's worth, our starter, Greinke, has a higher batting average than five of eight other starters tonight.

The higher three are hitting 1-2-4. So the traditional "Try to get the pitcher up to make the last out so he won't lead off the following inning" becomes "Try to get the #8 hitter up" so we can have 9-1-2-4 for the next inning. We live in a strange world nowadays. :)

And, sure enough, Greinke knocks in the first run of the game.

And steals second base.

91 pitches and dominating. TL did this with Greinke last time and got lucky. This time it bites him.

Stop over managing.

Archie with good intentions trying to pick the runner off 3B, but Descalso was stationed too far away, Archie took a second step ... and balked in the tying run.

What do you mean, leaving him out there for one more batter?

And Ahmed HBP with two outs in the 9th. But, not so fast. The call was overturned.
