ALDS Game 1 Diary: Man that was grotesque

Here we go, the Rays are back in the ALDS and this time it’s inside of the San Diego bubble. Blake Snell vs Gerrit Cole.

8:09 pm: First pitch and I’m not nervous in the slightest no I am not.

Top 1st: Snell had DJ LeMahieu down 0-2 but LeMahieu singles on the ninth pitch of the at-bat. And Snell might be overthrowing as he throws a wild pitch to allow LeMahieu to move up to second. Thankfully Aaron Judge grounded out but it moved DJLM up to third.

The wild pitch wasn't ideal as it allowed LeMahieu to score on a sacrifice fly, but it’d be the only run Snell would allow in the inning, although he did throw 20 pitches in the first.
