Ump has a tight zone. To his credit it has been tight both ways.
It makes Futrell’s performance thru 5 all the more impressive.
Except on that last pitch.

I would have a short leash here.
Futrell has been really good. 80 pitches in - up 5, I would be careful.

Beautiful work by Futrell and the defense to get out of the jam. This team is starting to gel. Keep it rolling!

We have looked sharp in the field tonight.
Futrell fights thru the sixth: still 5-0.

Since his homer in game 1 - Bradfield not going for contact.
He is our MVP. But he needs to play for contact - he has not moved key runners in scoring position two at-bats in a row.

By contrast, Vaz with 2 strikes makes contact and drives in 2.
7-0 good guys. Good job.

Dumb decision by Bulger to make the throw to second. Let the runner go. You’ve got 2 strikes. That error allowed a run. Don’t like the decision. Then they get the strikeout.
