Why put Evans at DH instead of Polanco?

Polanco has no arm and no versatility. Evans can play LF, RF, 3rd, 1st and perhaps even SS in a pinch.

Makes no sense to me.

maybe they will flip in game 2. Although I don't see why Evans couldn't play in field both games.

It's hard to sell the faded floral evening gown if you don't put it in the shop window.

Never heard that saying before but I loved it and it sure fits.

The wise old saying I just dreamt up, or the dress?

Are the Pirates allowed to not give up any first inning runs? Somebody check the rulebook.

Really annoying to me to be interviewing NW while the game is going on. I tuned in to watch a game not to listen to folks talk about there kids and family and career. Who cares just get back to the game.

I had already muted Block to listen to the radio broadcast.
