Ballgame
First two runners on, fail to put a ball past the pitcher. You can’t win like that.
Caratini is a catcher, he surely has been called upon to bunt before. Why would you not at least take the run they were conceding by playing back and lay down a bunt?
That may end up being the ballgame. And who knows what else. Caratini absolutely must make contact there.
King in
Raleigh with a leadoff single
Arozarena singles on a dribbler up the 3B line
Raley with a bunt single. Bases loaded, nobody out
This one is over — gotta get em tomorrow.
Good night
Turner flies out F8, Raleigh scores, Arozarena to 3B
And turn out the lights. Polanco with an RBI double.
King is throwing batting practice.
Crawford pops up to SS in shallow RF.
That’ll be all for King, but damage done.
It doesn’t matter who pitches if the team is going to refuse to score runs.
Espada managed this game like it didn’t matter. Tomorrow is a big time pucker game.
This game has bummed me out something awful.
They might as well leave him in there. No sense wasting another arm.
Martinez in
This. Exactly.
He immediately went to the back end of the bullpen in a 1-0 game for the division. Not sure what else there is to say.
