The hitters adjusted by laying off the slider and challenging him to throw it for strikes.  When he couldn’t, he was forced up and in.  I think this is what Hinch was talking about when he said they need to find a way to be able to elevate the ball.  He knew what they were going to do, he just didn’t want to tip his hand.

Bregman falls behind 0-2, grounds out 4-3
Gurriel grounds out 5-3
Gonzalez pulls one down the line in right that drops on for a single
Francona makes the call to the pen, Adam Cimber (RHP) in
Correa takes a sidearm heater for a strike,  fouls 0-2, fouls again with Marwin running,  takes outside 1-2, takes outside again but Marwin called out at 2nd on a steal attempt

Allen out,  Tyler Bauer in
Altuve takes low/outside 1-0, then high 2-2, then looks at aslider for a strike, 2-1, then low 3-1 (snap throw to 1st close, Safe on the field, no challenge), pops a FB foul (cookie!) 3-2, finally taps to 3B with Springer running,  Altuve out 5-3, Springer at 2nd
Bregman fouls sharply 0-1, takes low/away 1-1, again 2-1, lines sharply to left,  Springer scores,  throw cutoff catching Bregman who is caught in no mans land and gets tagged out after a couple of throws
Gurriel doubles off the wall in left
Gonzalez takes a ball called a strike 0-1, another 0-2 that one *might*have caught the corner), takes inside 1-2, then low 2-2, Ks swinging on a good breaking ball

Sure looked to me like the ball was tailing away from the catcher so hence the cutoff.
That's how it looked to me. Pettis is the best kind of crazy.

Agree.

Of course, if they don’t get Bregman, he scores at a canter on Yuli’s double (but they didn’t know that).

Re: Bauer.

He had warmed up for a while, not using him probably wouldn't have made a big difference on his availability for game 2.

We don't know if Yuli hits that double if they don't get Bregman.

Not sure if the telecast showed it but in the bottom left corner of the out of town scoreboard there is an entry that says “never settle” with 11 boxes underneath. After today’s game they put an X up in the first box.
