Fair point. I just hate leadoff walks with a passionChad was just fine. His teammates booted two grounders that would have ended the game.
Agreed. But it won't be the difference when you have a two run lead.Fair point. I just hate leadoff walks with a passion
My issue is why no mound visit to settle everyone down when the tying run was on 3rd? I still think once that game is tied you have to put in McSteen or Alavardo.Agreed. But it won't be the difference when you have a two run lead.
Alvarado was unavailable because he "wasn't feeling well." No elaboration on that meaning sickness or arm soreness or what.My issue is why no mound visit to settle everyone down when the tying run was on 3rd? I still think once that game is tied you have to put in McSteen or Alavardo.
Saw that, too. So much for "no excuses" Erstad stated in the pregame.Alvarado was unavailable because he "wasn't feeling well." No elaboration on that meaning sickness or arm soreness or what.
What is weird is our two most consistent pitchers this year play full time positions in the field as wellAlvarado has been a witch on the mound (which ain't easy to do when you're coming in from playing the field) so I'm not going to question his toughness.
