I heard that Rock said something about the move to PR for Candelario. I was following on the radio and thought that was a mistake. You'd much rather face Espinal in that situation, and it made the decision to walk Elly a lot easier.
Of course, Espinal got the hit, but it was for sure a soft-contact special.
I thought Murphy managed this game quite well. He's been improving as an in-game manager, I think, and I appreciate his candor after Friday's loss.
As others have mentioned, that just felt like about as big of a series win as June could give you. Reds come in smoking hot, Brewers blow a big opportunity in game one (though, really, it was more an opportunity to STEAL a win than a game they should have won), and then they come back and take the next two to go up 4-2 on the Reds in the season series. Love, love, love that we have a winning record against everyone in division about halfway through our divisional slate. Believe we are 18-9 against the NL Central.
Let's rock the left coast just like we rocked the Mets on opening weekend.
