Greetings, friends. Game 1 is in the books and, just moments after the opener came to a close, Episode 133 of the Talking Chop Podcast convened to break it all down.
TC’s Scott Coleman joins the show and topics include the following:
- Mike Foltynewicz’s struggles, including some odd pitch selection to Joc Pederson and a (very) ill-timed hit by pitch
- The weirdness of letting Foltynewicz hit for himself right before removing him from the game
- Kurt Suzuki’s 1-pitch plate appearance at a crucial time
- The quality work of Sean Newcomb and Max Fried to keep things competitive
- Hit-and-running into the end of a threat
- Strange insight on the broadcast from a variety of different angles
- Overreaction theater and a look ahead to Game 2, where Anibal Sanchez will face Clayton Kershaw
- Much, much more
