I’m still very optimistic about this baseball team, but this weekend has been disappointing. Down 2-0 in the 3rd , in the rubber match. Bats got to get going again. …missing McCabe I think.
Edit: 3 minutes after posting this, we hit back-to-back homers (on consecutive pitches) to tie the game at 2.
Errors and walks killing us the last few games. Those just gave WC 2 more runs in the 6th. We are now down 4-2. We do not look like the same club this weekend that has played the first 2 weeks…and that error costs us 3 more runs. They hit a 3 run homer with 2 outs and 2 strikes. We are down 7-2 now…we can blame ourselves for all 5 runs in the 6th…damn…staring at losing our first series of the year, with 4 tough games coming up next on the schedule. I expected to win this series 2-1, at minimum.
I’m very surprised that we couldn’t get anything going against their starter today. Kept us from stringing anything together for 7 innings. He pitched really well.
Brooks pitched well for 5, bullpen was a mixed bag today. Their big rally was started by a bad call at first. Wheels fell off a little bit after that for the inning.
We crushed their ace on Friday, then their 2nd and 3rd guy shut us down the rest of the weekend. That was surprising.
