LA Dodger Blake Snell is killing it,

he's pitched, so far, into the 6th inning with one hit and 9 strike outs.

Also helps when he's got an umpire with a pretty wide strike zone that he can pitch to.

with the uncertainty of the bull pen lately, Dave Roberts may let him try to finish the game.
10 strike outs and still one hit.
One hell of a performance.

That isn't too many to go one more inning, but Sasaki had been pretty much a sure thing as a closer -- until tonight.

I dunno, man. I'm just glad it's not my decision.

If he'd just stood there on the first pitch in this video, he probably would have been hit on the leg and then the tying run would have come in. But his instincts took over and he moved out of the way. Then he swung on an awful pitch to strike out.

Am thinking also about the Detroit pitcher whose bad throw to the catcher gave the Mariners the series. Crazy stuff.
