The call on the field “stands” which just means they weren’t 100% sure. If they were sure he was out they use the term “confirmed”. Hard to tell if one of those spikes on his shoes wasn’t still barely touching. But yeah, it looked like he probably was just off the base.
4 McGreevey strikes have now been balls. Admittedly that last one was just barely. He has gotten no balls called strikes.
If Kershaw is dealing like this then it doesn’t matter how many MVP’s or home plate ump we have against us.
McGreevey throwing better the last 2 innings. That was a lucky double for Edman off a good pitch. Good strikeout of Kim.
Well, Winn puts us up on the board. Nice play by Conforto to keep it from rolling to the wall or another run scores.
Kershaw was really good today. Not vintage Kershaw because he didn’t have 95 mph. But he hit his spots well and had great movement.
McGreevey looked like Woodford for the first 2 innings. He’s looked pretty good since. He still needs to not be quite as predictable when he gets 2 strikes. But I can understand his apprehension throwing to the Dodgers.
I can’t think of more challenging counterpart for McGreevy to have encountered for today’s game. Possibly Koufax?
McGreevey gets through 6 after 101 pitches. He was good for 4 innings and terrible the first 2. But he never lost his composure, which is great. He should be a fixture in our rotation for a long time.
Svanson with a rough inning walking 2 batters and hitting 2 batters plus a wild pitch that may have been more on Pages than Svanson. 2 runs score and Betts leaves the bases loaded.
Svanson nearing 50 pitches here in the Top of the 9th as he walks his 3rd batter. Needs to get one more out.
And he strikes out Will Smith to finish at 52 pitches over 2 innings. At least he saved the rest of the pen as they are short 1 with 6 starters right now.
A disappointing, but not altogether unexpected outcome. We must forget this sweep thing and satisfy ourselves with taking two of three from the best team in baseball.
As Red told Andy, “Hope is a dangerous thing.”
