upside
If there is an upside to this game, it's that we didn't quit.
break good guys ready rested stretch time winning wonderful
This break comes at a good time for us. It would have been wonderful to go into it on a winning note. We need this time to get our guys rested and ready to go for the stretch run.
batting count final hitter outfield pitching playing season weak
Going into his final season we are going to count on him on the mound, in the outfield and at bat. There is no designated hitter for Alan. His batting and pitching are a plus, and even if he is playing in the outfield there is not a weak link.
counted guys help season week
Our young guys got to play a lot this week and that will help us down the road. It is a long season and you never know when one of those guys will be counted on to come in and make plays.
course four game good guy knocking losing plate production runs scoring three
Without him, we were good for three or four errors. Of course when you have a guy at the plate that is scoring two or three runs a game and is knocking in two or three, you are losing four-five runs of production without him.
learn playoff proud second team teams
While I am proud of the win, it should not have come down to this. We have got to learn how to put a team away when we have the lead. If we are to make a playoff run, we can't give teams second chances.
calming couple errors four good guys influence three
We are good for about three or four errors without him. When he was out, we had to make some shifts in our lineup and play a couple of guys out of position. He is a calming influence while out there on the field.
