Hopefully we hand them their first loss here, but as with all teams that start off baseball seasons red hot, I just repeat the ol' tried and true: "They're peaking too early"

Absolutely ridiculous that we could sweep this series, be at a 69% win rate for the season, and STILL be two games back, only 10% of the way through the season.

I think I'm more confident in Kikuchi at this point than Berrios.

I'm much much more confident in Kikuchi at this point. Berrios basically has one usable pitch in his arsenal right now.

C'mon George. Couldn't you have hit at least a two-run HR there?

Guerrero swung at some bad pitches there. Weird because he took the first slider so easily and he couldn't recognize the next two off the plate.

With a bang bang play at first, there’s a chance Chapman could be screwed by 3 umps in one at bat.

They need to get rid of that stupid BOX strikezone on TV. Its so innaccurate to actual reality. Everyone knows Umps call an oval strikezone.

McClanahan had allowed only three baserunners all season until this inning?
