whadayaknow??? A win by more than one run! Though we all could have done without some of the sloppiness, at least it didn't come back to bite, and was an extremely fun and exciting game to be at!
Amazin' Jason took the hill again and after some early struggle settled down and locked in...
7IP - 3H - 0BB - 4K - 1ER (his token solo shot) At one point he retired 17 straight batters
Yuni ALMOST caused another collision (this time with Franklin)...
but he redeemed himself by going 2 for 3 w/a walk, 2RBI and 2RS
Chris W making the most of his time on the big league roster...
guy has been on base 6 times in 2 games!
Wladdy trying to make his case as an 'everyday man' now that Endy is out....
Last night went quite a way in doing just that - 2 hits including a home run and an awesome catch in the LF corner stands to end the game.
Concerns...
~ Ronnie pinch hit for Adrian in the 7th - AB suffering from a strained shoulder
~ Russell was hit in the forearm in the 7th (and GIDP in the 8th - maybe not a coincidence that it was his first GDIP all season
btw...
I was so excited at the game's conclusion (M's back at .500 AND the Rangers and Halos both losing) that I was half way to the escalator down from the 3rd deck before I realized I'd left my BlackBerry in the cupholder .... eeek!! Luckily, it was still there (blinking from 'tweets') after I dashed back through the crowds - WHEW!!
Lets see a 'suck line' for era, good one lisa!
ReplyDeleteVargas continues to go un-detected. I think they might have to make a deal to get another outfielder though.
His first double play?! Talk about efficiency! I wouldn't be surprised if he's screwed over for the All-Star game with people pointing at his lack of rbis.
The Rangers I still think have about a 5% of winning this thing. Kevin Milwood should definitely be commended, however. He's been fantastic.
Notice no one responded to my request for a "suck line" for ERA ;-)
