4-5 in Baltimore, Colorado, San Diego
oh so close to at least 6-3 ;-(
ROAD RUBBISH
Very bad things tend to happen when walk after walk is issued and when pitchers throw toward something other than home plate. Unfortunately, the M's proved this time and again in the middle of their road trip in Colorado. While the third game was a bit of a blow-out (Jason was due for a bad game) the first two could have been pretty easily won if the pitchers had not committed the a fore mentioned sins. And, the other two losses (one to the O's and one to the Pads) were each by one run.
ROAD RHYTHM
The trip started and ended well at least, with the M's taking 2 of 3 from the O's and the Pads. With the exception of Brandon (who's still finding his way) the pitching in Baltimore and SanDiego was solid even in the losses and quite stellar in wins ~ especially Felix's 2-hit complete game shutout of the Padres! The bats seem a tad bit more patient (20 walks) and powerful (21 XBH) in the 9 games.
