Nice of Byron and Ray to interview a pumpkin after the game.

Seriously FP, lay off the self tanner!!

Maybe (I can't believe I'm actually defending Matt Williams) Strasburg didn't want to pitch the ninth?  To be fair, it seems like Matt usually lets pitchers stay in when they want to (look at Scherzer) so I'm not sure I think that was all his decision.
