Joe got us through 4 innings. I would guess he will leave a game tied at 1 after 5 innings, based on his pitch count. Who is first out of the bully tonight? My guess is Alcala.
So frustrating to watch us waste Buxton on first with one out. Take a few pitches, Lee! Hit and Run, Steal a Base, but don't hit into a DP. Another bad start.
Correa should not be batting fourth. If I were managing this team, I would move him down to sixth or seventh. Make him earn his way back to the meat of the order.
Question - Can Keirsey Jr. one up last year's pinch hitter Margot and go zero for thirty-one?

3-0 to a third strikeout on pitches less than 90 mph in the middle of the zone. Why the face, Wallner? Oh yeah, here's your golden sombrero ... my mistake ... hat trick.
