Sorry for the long delay (if there are any actual readers of this blog out there), but we were dog-sitting our dog's sister over the weekend, and these are two pretty high-energy dogs that take up a lot of time and effort, so I didn't even have time/forgot to write even a short entry. But I do have some thoughts on the weekend...
The Twinkies are so bad you gotta sweep 'em. You just do. You show up for a season in baseball and you win 60 and lose 60. So it really just comes down to those 42 swing games, how do you handle those. Sunday was one of those and it went in the L column. Not good. I was glad they were able to get a win for Steven Wright, and I was glad they had a mashfest on Saturday like they should against such a weak team. But they needed to go for the kill on Sunday. Bogaerts losing his focus in the field was hopefully just a one-time thing. He had the base-running issue when he thought he homered, and the lack of focus on Sunday, so hopefully he has this stuff out of his system now. Obviously he's been pretty stellar other than that. Pretty questionable call for Farrell to have Shaw try to lay down a bunt when that's clearly not something he's ever done very much. They definitely had a chance in this one and it's frustrating to lose to a team you really should've swept. Hopefully Price can get them back on track in a good pitching matchup tonight.
