Well, we got some help from the D from our third baseman. And yes, its a SWEEP
Cannot ask for more. As for Smith, maybe not perfectly clean but did not blow it this time - guess we can say good enough

That big kid at 3rd might make it yet. He strikes out sometimes, though.

They won...but that is just unacceptable. Two walks by your closer in a one run ballgame...and it takes a tremendous play by Riley to save the game. This has got to change.

Nice play Riley! FINALLY WE PLAY NO DOUBLES AND WIN THE GAME INSTEAD OF LOSING IT!

Riley saves Smith's bacon. Big W for us.

That big kid at 3rd might make it yet. He strikes out sometimes, though. I'll take it, his D is better than I thought it would be though I think the metrics might underrate him. As I said, one of my idols as a kid Harmon Killebrew K'd some and he worked out all right. Scary presence in the pitcher dominated 60s

YES!
He limited them to just two walks and a 125 mph exit velocity smash that Riley somehow snared, so Smith did his job!
Although he did eat Soto's lunch.....which was the only good thing he did in the inning, but losing to a Soto HR there would have been horrific.

It is what it is but I am happy with the sweep. I prefer Rich Rod but - the man in charge has to figure that out

He's a clear cut choice right now, but Smith will remain as the closer. He got lucky on that last ball, If that goes into the corner both runners score and we lose.
