Awesome to see the Trop rocking.

Yep -- and the Padres had a mound visit after Sal walked so they had a chance to call out the pitch tipping. That's why the signal has to be as subtle as possible. One helmet tap from Yelich was not enough to trigger their spidey sense.

At 5:37 -- Yelich helmet tap while Sal is batting. There are a few spots where I don't see a signal (10:45), but most of the time the camera angle isn't right.

Sal’s signal is clear as day. As soon as the grip is on the ball he signals.

That's another risk that comes with a 2-inning save. I assume they saw something in the 8th. Still need to get the runner to 2nd base to relay the sign.

I think the concept was right that you bring in Miller to face the middle of the order in the 8th and then (in theory) he has the easier bottom of the order to finish it out. But they tied their hands a bit having Morejon pitch a second inning in game 1 and found themselves in the unenviable position having used all of their high-leverage relievers (except Miller) without a W to show for it. It's not a good omen for a deep playoff run to have already made your two best relievers do multiple innings at the beginning of the division series. I loved the quick hook for Uribe in game 1, it's a move that our deep bullpen allows us to make. Looking forward, it's ugly for the Padres. We've gotten extended looks at their high leverage arms and they have shown cracks. They have a starting pitching advantage and home field in G3, but we have plenty of arms that we haven't even used yet.

100%. And our depth is what is winning us the series. The bottom of the Padres' order is not capable of what ours did in the 9th inning yesterday.

I heard the ending on the radio. Still can’t believe it. What a moment. Gotta get one more to move on!

Great to turn the lineup over

If Slappy could have kept that fair…man…

Time for the offense to do something

Oh man, rough

Just keep it 1-0 and we’ll break through eventually

Padres are helping us out with their poor RISP ABs.

Henderson is not very sharp.
