That falls on our paper-bag offense doesn't it?
I don't really think an interference call that was probably the right call is nearly as bad as a blatantly missed strike call on one of Abreu's walks or a blatantly missed out call at first base.
I hate having to think like that when he bounces back from two badly blown calls to get us out of trouble in earlier innings. You can only go to the well so many times.
Hey. The last person on the field who gets blamed for this is Lester. Sometimes the hitter just beats you. That's what happened here.
There's a distinct lack of our hitters beating anyone tonight. That's the real problem.
Hands up anyone who thinks that these idiots are going to come back from even a 3-0 hole tonight when Alex Gonzalez is probably our best hitter so far.
The strikezone is especially tight whenever Abreu comes up to the plate.
if the umpires weren't pandering to him so much his OBP would be much worse.
EDIT: And that would be game.
