He was white hot in the 6th. I mean I get that it's a long season but 77 pitches. His lineup choices for game 1 were also abhorrent. Why is Nimmo hitting 8th and Pillar first? Why is Smith sitting? Those are rotten selections and you can't tell me otherwise. I am willing to concede that Pillar saved them a run with that strong throw to get the runner at 3rd. He also barfed with the bases loaded in the 4th, so maybe he saved one run and cost his team two others.
