And man - up 0-2 on the pinch hitter that put St. Louis up 1 - sheesh, gotta get that guy out. Worst case, get the count to 2-2 by throwing a couple of balls hoping he lunges. Don't fire an 0-2 pitch right down the middle of the plate. Some times he is so aggressive he kicks himself in the ass.
So many what ifs - just makes losing a game like this so difficult. Really hope kick ass Colby is the version we get tomorrow. Man, if we go down 0-2, the series isn't over, but man - just better not happen.

I would have liked to see a slider, but I don't agree that it was right down the middle. It was on the outer half and at the knees. I thought it was a quality pitch, and off the bat I thought that was an out. And with that kind of contact, it's an out most of the time. Just got lucky. Sucks.
