Ian snapped out of it and pitched brilliantly to Smith.

What luck.

Cano has played really well this season.
But also yes, he probably should be out of the inning.
What lesson have we learned? Don't walk the first 3 batters in an inning.

Wtf were Riley and Ozuna doing?

As exciting as Smoltz was to watch make pitch, he's equally unexciting to hear make comment.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
So after 3 walks he Ks a guy, gets a weak grounder, and then a broken bat pop up.
It took 30+ pitches, but hopefully he's dialed in now and can go 5.

Could've been worse with walking three straight to start the inning and a seeing-eye two run RBI. Smoltz called it a success if he could limit the damage to two runs and, obviously, that's exactly what he did.

Anderson got squeezed pretty bad but he didn't help himself with those walks. Lots of non-competitive pitches. Hopefully he figured it out.

Dansby is completely lost at the plate and it's just painful to watch right now.
Swanson looked awful
Swanson still sucks!!!
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Smoltz hates baseball a lot for a guy who’s life is pretty much baseball
