Somebody — Speier maybe — put up stats once about how the hitter after a 10+ pitch at bat does (if the pitcher stays in the game). I could be imagining all this, but the numbers were crazy — like .500 OBP and 1.000+ SLG or something.
Again, I could be making that up, but I have a decent memory of it. It was when NESN would have Speier stats in game, I think.

Super impressed by how Gallen was able to settle down. That first inning had this start looking disastrous

#BlueJays manager John Schneider, on Berrios & the loss:
"You can sit here and second-guess me, second-guess the organization, second-guess anybody. I get that. I get that. And it's tough. And it didn't work out for us today or yesterday. But that's baseball sometimes

The Twins scored the two runs in the inning he took out Berrios after a leadoff walk
Tiring run at the plat!. Guess I forgot that. Always thought of game 6 as not close.
Vladdy probably was worried about scoring from second on a single.
I’m not surprised he was asked, because Kay and Arod were second guessing the decision all game on the broadcast.
I think it was worth a question, but not to second guess. The
I don't see Gallen lasting much longer. But considering last night's performance by their bullpen, I'll bet the Dbacks are confident.
Seems pretty obvious the Toronto front office went with a scirpted plan, Rays style. Berrios has been a bit of Jekyll & Hyde this season.
But he was dominating and you also need to win tomorrow too, so why plan to burn the pen so much? And Kikuchi is a much worse pitcher than Berrios.

Maybe the Rays aren't the team to model come playoff time, given their recent history.
It was one of their weak links all year, though they shored it up just a bit at the deadline. But that’s what’s great about the playoffs.
Pitch clock means shit can fall apart, especially on the road. But the Brewers may start pressing. Buckle up!
Rays always seem built to succeed over the regular season, but are missing the certain something in the playoffs. That's probably wrong on my part, but something isn't there
They always seem to go quiet in the playoffs. Both their hitting and pitching completely fell apart in this year's series. Nerves maybe?
Must be hard to get to the postseason year after year only to realize that the same number of people who don't give a shit about your team's success during the regular season don't give a shit about your success in the postseason. So why bother?
