that was a Kruko favorite
As Matt Morris left the mound, usually losing, you’d hear about it being a Quality Start and him being a gamer. The two always run together for me.

when Greg Smith’s pitch count is only 87?

I think he plans on Ziggy for 2, Street for 1
I have no problem with that.

Ziegler is fresh and Smith is a rookie
Ziggy could go two and then Street can blow it in the 9th. That’s how we roll.

a loss here would be like the most crushing thing ever. i think i’d have to give up watching baseball for at least a week.

But I just feel bad for Street. It’s like every time he goes out there, his stuff has just left him. Hard to pitch when you can’t trust your pitches to fool anyone.
