It's Dog Day in Buffalo so I'm giving the people what they want:
Yesterday was fun. Don't expect that today in that there is a much better pitcher on the mound. (Don't let that stat line fool you.) However, signs of hope! Brito got a hit! The bottom of the lineup produced! Go get 'em!

Instead of having a kid yell “Play Ball” to start the game, they just let a dog named Sophie bark into the microphone.
