You can’t give the opponent free base runners
Tonight was one of those ain't pretty, ain't perfect, but got it done type wins that we haven't had in a while.
If we can figure out the walks and errors, this team is dangerous.
Anyone know anything on Nixon being out indefinitely? Seeing some rumblings of it over on GP
Very glad we pulled that one out of the fire.
He's out but not that long.
We should thank Gautreau for tonight. For the offense at least.
The defense was bad. Too many walks again- even though yes the umpire was trash.
Every time we made an unforced error they scored. I think the difference was ultimately we have more power and a better lineup from 1-9 than them- we gave them most of their runs. We earned most of ours with hits. Ledbetter's triple, Larry's home run, Alford had a big hit, Forsythe had a big night at the plate and Hines got the game winning sac fly. We outhit them and did way more damage in general.
All I really ask out of an umpire in consistency. That's how umpires ruin games because then no one- the pitcher nor the hitter know what the strike zone is. It makes it sloppy. And then he had that inning- I think the 7th where he got upset at Lemonis or someone and just decided to strike all of our guys out- including one guy on strike 2. Lemonis gave him what he wanted- an argument and blue got to warn the dugout and look important.
