Well I didn't get to see all the game today because my daughter had a softball game. Ironically her team is also the Dbacks and their bullpen is a little shaky.
I almost feel bad for Albert Pujols. He couldn't hit a watermelon if someone threw it over the plate! I know this probably wont last for long but could this be the end of a baseball great? Is the invincible King Albert finally starting to show that he is human after all? For baseball's sake I sure hope not. King Albert has more draw than almost any other player and he may be the last of a dying breed.
That dying breed is a classy player who can also perform. He has been so consistent over the decade that he has been in the league and there is never any drama that follows him. He truly loves the game and I believe he plays for the right reasons. Albert please start hitting the ball(preferably after this weeks series against the Diamondbacks). Thanks
Willie Bloomquist is a stud. Enough said.
Barry Enright did a decent job tonight. He wasn't too wild and he kept the damage to a minimum.
The Dbacks batters had 6 hits tonight through 7 innings! We could only score one run off of that!?! Kyle M. is a chump and not a great pitcher. We should have done a better job working him.
Melvin Mora finally had a decent game and got a couple hits. I still would have rather seen Ryan Roberts out there.
Why is Miranda playing first? He is hitting around .130 and his defense is good but not great. We might as well put someone with less defense but more bat in there.
Once again Juan Gutierrez is the worst bullpen pitcher in the league! We have to release him or waive him. What we should do is bring Tyler Skaggs or another left hander into the bullpen. Just having Joe Paterson as a lefty specialist is not enough. I think Tyler would be a great addition to the 'pen.
Well a disappointing loss especially when Ryan Roberts struck out. Those last 4 runs off of Gutierrez were very disheartening. Let't get it together and win tomorrow. Thanks for reading
