I thought all the called strike threes were borderline, could have went either way. That said, all of them were too close to take with two strikes, yet we took all three. Franklin deserves credit as well, almost perfect pitch location the entire inning. Even if we make contact, chances are we go down 1-2-3. I told myself going into this series I'd be happy with a split. 3.5 back with four games against the 26-61 Washington Nationals immediately after the break. Anything less than three wins there will be considered a huge disappointment. I would say we need to sweep but its hard to sweep a four-game set on the road, regardless of who the opponent is.
