By the way, should not be a rubber game. We should be going for the sweep! SUCKS - at least we better win this one!

Ugh. Not a good start.

[Malike]

84 MPH Fastball is concerning.

Johnny ****ing Damon

[PaulFolk]

The Damon blast was legitimate, but the next two hits have both been weak bloopers. Some tough luck for Matusz so far.

[Steve I]

ugh, an ugly start, two weak bloop singles after a dinger. 3 batters, no outs.

[Blizzard1090]

Not the best start.....

[Malike]

The Damon blast was legitimate, but the next two hits have both been weak bloopers. Some tough luck for Matusz so far.

Seems like he isnt hitting his spots. He doesn't throw hard enough to miss his spots by 10-12 inches.

[battlefeverjnb]

Matusz needs to work out of this without giving up another run to get the momentum shifted.

[Malike]

84 to 86 MPH. Very Jamie Moyer like.

[Steve I]

84 to 86 MPH. Very Jamie Moyer like.

89 MPH to get Longoria to fly out

[PHRESH]

C'mon double play...
