Blake Snell made the first relief appearance of his career on Tuesday, earning a save in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Houston Astros, and for his part Snell both loved and hated the experience.
Speaking with the press before tonight’s winner-moves-on Game 5, the Rays fourth elimination game faced this playoffs, Snell reflected on what it was like being in the bullpen. That is, it was boring.
Yeah, that’s not for me. I’m not going to lie. It was weird. I walked out with them. I just followed their whole bullpen routine.
