Now come on. A cue shot and a flub that would have been caught by anyone not named Gonzalez? It was pretty cheap.
7 K's, 0 BB, .476 BABIP. He wasn't exactly getting lucky.
Yeah, give me Ciriaco over Punto anyday. He's hitting .300 in AAA, he's got wheels like crazy. He scored from 2nd on a sacrifice bunt twice in ST. I've never seen that happen ever in my life without an error. He did it twice.
It hit Aviles' glove.
And if every pitcher who gives up a line drive hit on the button to Miguel Cabrera sucks, then every single pitcher in the MLB sucks.
