Due to a central time location, and then a two-hour rain delay on top of that, it’s likely that most of you didn’t actually watch Thursday night’s game. I typically try to get weird and semi-existential in my recaps, because I figure most people saw the action, but in this case, I have to take my responsibility to deliver a normal recap more seriously.
That being said, I’m sure in this, the modern era, you all know the score, and many of you have already looked at a box score. So what I’m going to do with this recap (because writing a simple, by-the-numbers recap is something I still refuse to do), is give one nugget per half inning to supplement your quick box score overview.
