What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBlake Snell is in the Hot Seat today.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Dodgers are down two games to none, and Yahoo Sports says he has to deliver to save their three-peat hopes.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI rate this heat surface of the sun. One bad start and a repeat champion is on the couch watching someone else's parade.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorDown two to none. Teams rarely climb out of that, Rex, and I'm quietly delighted.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorDelighted. In a Dodgers must-win.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorTo cool it, he has to go deep into this game and hand the bullpen a lead.
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat is the whole recipe, and it is not complicated.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFan question. If one arm carries a whole season, why does the other side of the roster even get a chair?
Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorBecause hitters have to score, Dale. But yes, today the season rides on one left arm and a lot of prayer.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe chair is fireproof, I assume. Has anyone checked whether the pitcher is?
