T1 of Game 5

Dallas Keuchel pitches to
Taylor
strike at the knees, check swing on the curve down, ball down (can hear HPU pretty clearly),  single up the middle

[Nate in IA]

T1 of Game 5, no outs, man on 1st

HPU is Bill Miller.   I know nothing about him which probably means he's good.

Seager
foul, foul, ball outside, foul, check swing on a change down and out, same pitch-same check swing, strike looking at 91 mph fastball.   1 out.

[hostros7]

I don’t know what Seager was looking for on 3-2, but I’m happy he took what he got like a potted plant.

found this tidbit on Miller- "Miller has an expansive strike zone that strongly favors pitchers. ... His four-year K/BB is second only to Doug Eddings in favor of pitchers. ... He's one of the best umpires to have behind the plate if you crave a pitching duel."

I get it and no need to apologize. I’m as nervous as anyone in this thread, but confidence is half the battle.  Marwin got screwed out of a hitters count by the home plate ump, too.  The second pitch was nowhere close and Kershaw got a called strike out of it.

[baron]

Yeah, starting to get some calls.

Of course, as Smoltz has said, so will CK.

Perhaps Hinch wants Gregerson to get this out, and let McHugh start with a clean inning.
