Bummer, yeah, but I was going to be a little disappointed in Strickland if he kept throwing 6 inches outside and you don't really want to give a free pass to bring the tying run to the plate late. That made for a bad pitch sequence though, slowly moving towards turbo zone. He can have his HR and hopefully watch us celebrate a WC at the end of the game.
Two run game in a playoff race. You absofreakinglutely give him a free pass.
