GAMES ONE AND TWO

The series is all tied up at one game apiece.  EDG took the first game 9-2 behind 7 strong innings 
from SD Chacin.  EDG's offense had 9 doubles out of their 15 total hits and also drew 7 free passes.  
ODM bounced back to take the second game 7-1 as bullpenning made its first appearance in the playoffs 
this season.  ODM starter BOS Fister was lifted after giving up a single run in 1.1 IP and the ODM bullpen 
led by CLE Salazar and lefties NYA Chapman and CLE Miller combined to shut out EDG the rest of the way, 
giving up 4 hits while striking out 11. 

TEX Hamels goes for EDG as the series shifts to ODM for game three.  ODM is sending BOS Fister out again 
to start game 3.


GAME FIVE

ODM and EDG had an instant classic with several lead changes in the deciding game of the wildcard series.

ODM too a quick 3-0 lead in the first.  Aroldis Chapman came in to the 5th to protect a 3-1 lead with a 
runner on and no one out.  He promptly blew the lead and EDG went ahead by a single run 4-3.  In the 7th 
Josh Donaldson hit a 3 run homer to put ODM up 6-4.  But the ODM bullpen could not close it out as Andrew 
Miller allowed an inherited runner in the bottom of the 7th to score.  The run was unearned as Aaron Judge 
hit a hg to 2b. Cesar Hernandez tossed the ball to the normally sure handed Pat Valaika at ss and got the 
first leg of the double play but Valaika's throw to 1b sailed into the dugout and Aaron Hicks scored to 
make it 6-5.

The score remained 6-5 until the bottom of the 9th.  Miller became fatigued to start the bottom of the 
ninth and gave up a single to Aaron Hicks.  Groundball specialist Dan Otero was summoned from the bullpen 
to face righty Carlos Correa who singled.  Up to the plate stepped Aaron Judge who hit a screamer right 
at Josh Donaldson who bobbled the ball to load the bases for Justin Smoak with no one out. ODM's last 
relief pitcher Chase Whitley came in to face Smoak who blasted a walk off grand slam.

There will be questions in the media about the ODM managers bullpen strategy in game 5 but it appear 
this is the end of the road for this ODM squad as rumours are swirling that the franchise is moving to 
a new city and the roster will be blown up.  The ODM streak of 6 consecutive playoff appearances has 
been a good run but the team's inability to get out of the WC round the past two years after winning 
the IBL Championshp in 2016 has led ownership to question the strategy of winning at all costs by 
trading future draft picks to support the current squad.

The news is not all good for EDG however as starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks was sent for an MRI 
immediately after his removal from the game reporting arm discomfort.  His status for the divisional 
round is unkown at this time (EDG did not do injury roll yet)

Congrats to Rob for a hard fought victory in the series.
