What a disaster of a game; absolutely brutal. Price just can't catch a break in the playoffs.
Sometimes Gibbons' lineup moves leave me scratching my head. Why wouldn't he put Colabello in as a pinch hitter instead of Carrera, late in the game? Is it simply due to which way they swing? I assume Colabello will be in tomorrow to face the lefty; though Smoak is a switch hitter. Speaking of which, why is Colabello always playing second fiddle to Smoak. The former has the best batting average on the team and is a much more consistent and versatile hitter. Not that Smoak hasn't brought good things to the team, but I think Colabello deserves to start more than him.
Let's hope Donaldson and Bautista are ready to go for Game 2 and that Stroman continues pitching well. If we lose tomorrow we're done.
And if the weather is nice again tomorrow, it would be nice to see the Dome open. It was more than warm enough to be open today. Maybe some natural light can give us a boost.
