I split my TV time between the AL Wild Card Game featuring the Blue Jays and the Orioles and the Pence – Kaine debate. About the game, it was exciting and I don’t understand why the losing manager left his best relief pitcher in the bullpen rather than use him in extra innings. Instead, he brought in a starter with only four relief appearances all season to pitch to the heart of the Blue Jays’ order. Boom! Edwin Encarnacion hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the 11th and the Orioles’ season was done.
About the debate, this tweet sums it up pretty well:
"I'll defend anything Donald Trump says."
"Trump says more countries should have nukes. Here is the date stamp."
"He didn't say that."
