You don’t know that. Lol.

There have been several posts in this thread about being patient leading to an 0-2 count right away, making it really difficult to take that approach.

No perfecto!

[justD]

A baserunner!

[KillerTofu]

Nice job by Ced. There ya go, baby!

[SteveA]

Tate probably isn't available, and it would be 3rd straight day for Bautista... if he goes at all today it would probably only be to protect a lead in the 9th.

We probably don't want lefties vs the overwhelmingly RH Tor lineup.

So probably Krehbiel and Baker the two main options to get through the next couple innings?

[Frobby]

Finally, a doink.  

[Mooreisbetter27]

Let's see a stolen base.  

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Perfect game finally off the board. (Took long enough)

[LA2]

Yeah--Cedric!

BASERUNNER ALERT

I would guess Akin as well.  Did he pitch in the first game?  Can't remember.  Sucks getting old.  

 

Oh and Perez.

So having Rutschman and Vavra in the lineup doesn’t mean you have a better chance to get a hit or get on base?

Santander showing patience and he’s down 0-2 so there you go.

I heard a little of radio pregame. Hyde didn’t want to tip his hand but sounded like he didn’t want to use them. 
 

That said we have a one run lead going into the 9th we will have to see what he does.
