Box Score doesn't reflect how good Nova actually pitched, sad to see. Was making Bautista and EE off-balanced all game with that curve. Just had some control issues late and gave up a meatball to Smoak. The offense really needs to wake the fuck up though, we'll see how Tanak does today.
That was all on Girardi. Nova looked absolutely gassed at that point(11 of 14 pitches prior to Smoak AB were ballz). Warren came in after the grand slam and struck out the two batters he faced...
Joe has made some awful managerial decisions in this series so far. Still can't get over him bringing in Pinder in game 1 when a) Miller only threw 6 pitches and b ) Warren was available to pitch multiple innings. He keeps managing for the next game when the game in front of him is still in reach.
