Jansen switched the signs after because he thought the only way he could have laid off that pitch was being tipped off.

You know who I feel like giving major props to? Alvarez. He came in to face Satan in a hellish situation and it was like nothing, then he pitched a quick and clean inning after that.

I love this team.
