no "W" to show for it.
- Figgy with two hits! (including a double and a run and an rbi)
- Casey with two hits! (and two rbi)
- Robby with a homer! (apparently, he likes hitting vs. Sheets)
- Robby also throwing 2 runners out (we won't talk about his out on the basepaths ;-(
- Junior with a hit!
- Mike with a pinch-hit rbi (that tied the game at 5 in the 8th)
- Michael turns an AWESOME DP - shoes string catch and throws the runner out at 2B
Now, the bad part...
- Felix wasn't Felix but, although he had to work darned hard for it, he did leave with the lead
- The pen, unfortunately, was "the pen" (as of late, they just can't hold it late)
- Guti hesitated on throwing to 2B on a long fly ball out that could have resulted in a DP
- Rob thrown out at 3B (OK, so I mentioned it)
I thought of a way to improve your line up!
ReplyDeleteMake it so Rob Johnson think he's facing Sheets in every at bat! He is very good defensively btw. Totally bailed out Felix by picking off Rosales at 3rd! Of course, he ran into an out, but his +/- was on the right side! On a side-note, I think Figgins will turn it around. he had some good ab's last night.
What the hell was Tex doing out there in the 7th?! I assume that's the point where they want Mark Lowe to come in.
Terrible job in the 10th by Franky. Lackadaisical!
All the talk today was about the "mental mistakes" (Rob and Guti last night and others that were far too plentiful on this road trip). Frustrating to not have the "control-ables under control" :-(
ReplyDeleteI agree that Figgy is starting to come 'round ... another hit tonight - solid rbi single. Now, if we can just get the other 6 or so to get it goin'
