43 thru 4 ... who is this guy and what did he do with Christian Scott?

Now it's 31 pitches in three innings (hell, 45 would be considered good) for Crash Christian. Beats the hell out of the 89 in 3-2/3 he threw in his last start (MIL)

Scott - two innings = 20 pitches Sale - one inning = 22 Didn't have that one on my dance card.

It's the work of the devil. The Devil I tells ya!!

And tell them you'll take yours down whenever they get around to putting theirs up.

#4 -- Mike Nickeas

It ends, instead, with a K-swinging by Austin Riley.

It's only 3:30 PM EDT and already TWO six-run leads have been blown. - Phils were up 6-0 by the top of the 5th but lost the game to the Marlins 8 - 6 - and the 'Do we hold or do we sell?' Tigers led 7 - 0 after six but are now batting in bottom 7th tied 7 - 7 with the O's

Now here's a situation which might call for the unofficial 'no two innings' rule for relievers. Maybe they'd rather use weaver for two innings now rather than have Brazoban, Weaver, AND Williams all pitch in Game one which likely makes all NOT available for the nightcap. oe: ... and as I type this Williams in warning up in the pen, so ignore everything I said above

It also got out there in a hurry. My first instinct was 'two runs' also, but I couldn't see where Lindor was when the ball was being fetched off the wall.

Actually it was a one RBI double. Lindor held at 3rd. Both Bichette and Benge got on top of pitches from 0000 that were several inches north of the zone. Both hit 'em hard but Benge's got further towards the corner.

In a tribute to the late Gilbert Gottfried, AJ Smith-Shawver is from the land of the three-named pitchers. And Sean Reid-Foley was there, and Van Lingle Mungo ...

That the deadline is still five days away.
