That pretty well screws the cap on the bottle....
@Cyber Liberty Historic note: In the 1986 World Series, the first four games were also won in the road ballpark. The Mets lost Games One and Two in Shea Stadium; the Red Sox lost Games Three and Four in Fenway Park. And the Mets went on to win the Series in seven.
Also, in the 1996 Series, the first five games were won on the road---the Braves, Games One and Two in Yankee Stadium; the Yankees, Games Three through Five in Fulton County Stadium. And the Yankees won Game Six and the Series in New York.
And right now the Nats have to be thinking Max the Knife won't be looking just to pitch them to a 3-2 lead, he'll be pitching to save their lives, period, in Game Five.
Meanwhile, the guy who
should have been brought in to pitch to Brantley was brought in to pitch to Kyle Tucker with the bases loaded a second time . . . and struck his hide out swinging for the side.
Like I said, Dave Martinez all of a sudden seems to have a thirst for being second-guessed.
