Missed most of the game, as I was at "the race track" with "the girls"...
As impotent as both the M's and the Halos offenses were tonight - my betting was even moreso ;-)
Weaver was on. What else is new?
Certainly not a great match up to an M's offense that has struggled so mightily all season - and then the get to face the best pitcher in the AL - and just when they were starting to put something together (26 hits and 19 runs in the series sweep of the A's).
At least it was good to see Jason bounce back a bit after some extremely rough starts of late...
He was solid through six, scattering seven hits and walking only one - he was also able to escape when necessary. Aaron, Jamey and Josh combined for three scoreless innings, surrendering only one hit and one walk. Dan had no fun in the 10th - giving up a single to Hunter, who then advanced on a wild pitch (Wedge non too happey about the "crossed up" situation) and scored the winning, and only, run of the game on Well's single (outside, practically in the dirt).
Sounds like base-running was more than bit of an issue for the M's tonight...
Ichiro picked off 1B, Mike thrown out trying to steal 2B, Casper caught off 3B - argh!!
But hey, there's (ANOTHER) new kid in town...
Welcome to the bigs, Trayvon Robinson! He struck out in his first AB and collected his first major league hit in his second AB - a solid single to left - off Jered Weaver, no less. But, what he will be remembered for is his thievery of Torii Hunter - what a catch!
