That pitch was elevated but it was on the outside corner. Not even that terrible of a pitch. Would have preferred it lower, of course, but it wasn't middle middle.
This is insane. I would have for sure guessed someone had 2 13+K games in a postseason or more than two in a career. Randy Johnson in 2001 came to mind. We had enough years where there were 3 playoff rounds and managers still rode their SP hard.
They showed in the postgame that the runner missed home plate initially in that Phillies game. So even if the guy goes home but makes a good throw, the catcher could have tagged him out.
EDIT: Or just touched the plate since it was a force.
So we had...
A nervy 1-run win in Game 3 (Game 5 of the WS)
A relatively comfortable 6 run win in Game 4 (Game 6 of the WS, though that was much less in doubt)
So clearly we're going to win in 10 innings on Saturday.
Yep, He should get Yelich for sure. After that I'm fine with whatever. Let him pitch until he gives up a runner or bring in a righty. We've got a little more breathing room now.
EDIT: Or Keller I guess.
