Well, if you’re gonna lose 2/3 and 11 in a row, a 12-2 drubbing is a good way to go out. Certainly lessened the blow.
Baseball-Reference game preview here.
1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Cameron Maybin, CF
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. Victor Martinez, DH
5. Nick Castellanos, 3B
6. Justin Upton, LF
7. Steven Moya, RF
8. James McCann, C
9. Jose Iglesias, SS
Upton?!
JV looks like he’s really laboring tonight.
It is very exciting to think that Castellanos could be a .270/25/100 guy for 10 years. His defense could still use some work, but he’s not hurting us out there anymore like he used to. He’s currently at a 1.8 bWar.
Miggy is beginning to look ordinary.
Very.
JV guts if not stuff tonight.
I was just going to comment on that. Hopefully his attitude is contagious.
JV was excited! Greene does nice work! Go get some runs now.
It would be nice if our “big guns” would deliver for a change.
Should we start considering moving Casty to bat 3rd?
JV gets penned out of another win.
I’d like to thank the 3rd and 4th hitters who made this possible tonight. No sweat big Mike goes tomorrow.
basic Studs did their usual nothing…they do go great once every 4-5 games to keep those averages up. But its usually the same day….
kinsler.mabin.miggy..victor…1/14…gee usually they are 2/14
From Jason Beck: “Bruce Rondon wasn’t available to pitch tonight. He was sent back to hotel with illness.”
OK, call me cynical, but with Rondon’s history, I have to consider there the possibility of something else going on.
I gve him the benefit of doubt as Castey had flu like symptoms earlier this week. Something could be spreading the clubhouse.
Forgot about Casty.
BRAD :.”i thought about using KRod for a 4 out save but I don’t want to do that very often!”…I did that back in June once”!…………………..what………….hey Brad twice during the entire frickin season…isn’t very often!
