Oh beautiful strike for that 2nd out. EDIT: ditto for the one that got us the 3rd out. Cole F'n Quintanilla!
Enter Landon Sims 1.55 ERA (pre CWS) Up to mid and high 90s fastballs Hard breaking sliders and curves Easily their best reliever.
Swing the bat! You got two strikes. Protect the plate. When the ball is thrown down the middle, swing at it. No matter what the count.
Looks like Gordon and Southard are in the pen if Cole were to falter. Big “if”. Cole’s done quite well thus far I’d say. But… He’s thrown 39 pitches, and he doesn’t often go many innings. Gotta be ready for contingencies …
ESPN is in love with MSU. I just have to mute the TV because I cant listen to another replay of how close and special #4 & #5 are.
