One way to prevent the Dodger to destroy the team after the team is to keep the Hybracks closed as long as possible.
Blake Snell gave this strategy a whirlwind in the game 1 of the series of wild cards of the National League, breaking solid, sometimes brilliant, seven servings. But even then, he and his teammates had to wait for the night by the Night KPZ -Crisis before escaping With a victory 10-5 Above the cinzinnati-red, to take leadership with a score of 1: 0 in the best of the three series.
“Blake was fantastic tonight,” said Manager Dave Roberts. “You could see that he was in full control. Fastball was excellent. The change was a plus.
“The type of mixing and comparison, and he really controlled the whole game.”
BULLPEN? Not so much. But we will get to this in a minute.
According to the manager of Cincinnati Terry Francon, for Snella it was that mixing and coincidence made him so tough, the manager of Zincinnati.
“A big difference was his change,” said Francon. “It was his ability to manipulate a change, even vary. He would leave one who was 87 [mph] And one that was 82 years old. And from time to time he threw two, three, four in a row, all different speeds.
“You throw 97 [mph fastball] There, and it becomes difficult. “
Snell was effective from the very beginningTo retire to the side in the first for seven feeds. He put the first eight red in order, then after he refused double and a walk in the third, he retired in the next 10 in a row, which allowed him to go deep into the game.
Given the constant struggle of the GRC, this will probably be a project that the Doders will continue to follow in the play -off.
“It was nice to delve into the ball,” said Snell, whose seven taxes corresponded to the season. “I really felt under control, I could read a swing and just move around the ruler.

“What is deeper that the starts are in the game, this means that we are well versed. But this means that you give the GRD break. So this is just another game that favors us. ”
He became on Tuesday, for the 11th, for three teams, in the postsuzon. But this was his first since 2022. The return to October was one of the reasons why Levsha signed a contract with a dodge 10 months ago (a five -year contract for 182 million dollars, which was proposed by the team, was another reason).
“This is amazing,” said Snell, who was dressed in a blue sweatshirt with a hood, decorated with a slogan play -off Dodgers, “built in the fall” in front. “There is nothing better than breaking the game after the season in front of your home crowd. To be able to enjoy this, it meant a lot. ”
And Snell took advantage of the advantage, climbing in seventh place, abandoning the blow. He did not refuse to run while Ellie La Cruz chose Grander with two in Inning.
De la Cruz is clogged with the second launch of the Reds on the double three steps of Tyler Stevenson.
Snell received the next striker to put an end to the threat, and seven servings represent the best career for the play -off. He corresponded to his play -off with nine outs to the sixth Inning, which he needed only 70 steps. He threw 91 steps, abandoning four hits and walks, before Roberts went to the HYatches to start the eighth, with predictable results.
Alex Vesia was the first person through the gate, and he retired only one of the three strokes that he encountered. He was followed by a flamethrower of Edgardo Enrick, who went through the first two attackers and gave a blow to the third, forcing two runes.
Jack Dreyer was the following, and he passed another race. After entering Inning, eight runs, Cincinnati attracted running to a circle on a deck with one of them.
Dreyer ultimately calmed down, having retired around, but three jugs took 59 steps – and 30 minutes – to go through Inning. By the time Blake Train began to finish everything, Starter Emmeter Shihan began to heat up.
In total, Roberts needed four lovers to get the last six outputs, as a result of which the Dodders hoped for a performance similar to Joshinob Yamamoto in the game 2 on Wednesday to avoid further stress of the Communist Party.
“These guys are under their heel with the leader, which we have,” Roberts said about the redness included in the eighth Inning. “When you begin to be too good and lag behind, you begin to give them free bases, this is how you can build a serving and get an impulse. So this is what I saw in this intoning for sure.
“If we do not feel comfortable using certain guys with eight -year leadership, then we must think about some things.”
Maybe Snell will receive a chance to finish what he starts next time. This, of course, is no worse than an alternative.
