And if the bullpen doesn’t melt down in the 8th inning of that game we’re talking about a sweep instead. My point is 4 games in a playoff series is a tiny, tiny sample size. Thankfully the team that won 16 more games during the regular season is moving on and – as you say – none of what happened vs. SF means anything tomorrow night.
