This guy's strike zone is regularly re-imagined. I really thought balls-strikes would be better in Omaha, but I guess that's asking for too much.

Leiter pitching well but pitch count creeping up quickly.

Like others, I want another run or two. Have this unease even with 5 run lead.

Yes for DP. How many pitches will Corbs let Leiter throw?

Leiter gets a key double play. But threw a lot of pitches in the fifth. And more balls than normal.
High 80s in pitches through 5th. But still 7-2
I will tell you what I liked: two nice fielding plays to get out of that inning.

It’s his last game of the year. Keep him in as long as he is pitching well.

I'll say somewhere in the 110-120 range.

Have our guys just decided to stand pat on 7 runs? I am not sure that will do it with our pen probably going the last three.

I think this will be Leiter's last inning. He will be at or near 100 by the end, unless something strange hapens.

We are very quickly retired again.
Heading to the sixth. Need a good inning by Leiter. Still 7-2.
I am wishing we would play with a little more urgency on offense. Bunt the fast guys. Sit on curves - because that is what we are getting now. These sweeping curves are lulling us to sleep. And the early aggressiveness is gone.

Leiter is getting very shaky.

Pitch count perspective he can go 7. But he isn't as sharp for sure
