Nice to see that JDM remains useless on a team that needs him. The pitching still is not good (3 runs in 5 innings) but the hitting is very weak. Last night Hunter cannot touch the ball with bases loaded, tonight he homers, followed by 2 base runners who get left by the indomitable Dalbec who K's
Take a different look on tonight's game. We are competing with a good team for first place. The bats bust loose and we win, voila---first place again. Doesn't take a lot of thought. Lick your wounds and force your will on the opponent. Win today's game, it's the only one being contested.
Put that on Martinez and Vazquez. Despite his tying HR, Dalbec just isn't ready yet and may never be like his buddy Chavis
I do think Bogey wanted to go home when he saw the throw headed to second. Got to take shots when you see them
It is inexplicable for a professional hitter who studies video religously. It is obvious that all teams and piutchers have the "book" on him pegged for low sliders away , and yet he chases and chases and chases. Rapidly losing respect for him, but not as much as Vaz , however
