zig what has happened to the ZMan?
Walks, wilds, unearneds, ballgames.
Series?
and crucial errors sucked the life out of the momentum. The Tigers have given up 5 unearned runs so far, and you can't win anything doing that.
That's just going by MLBs ultra lame scorekeeping system.
They really have like 10 unearnds.
Det reliever Rodney did a great job of getting out of 1st and 3rd one out by not allowing a run to end the 6th.
So for the 7th, Ecxstein lofts a can of corn to center field and the CF slips for a *double*. Rodney follows that with a blown throw to 1st.
ZMan walks two men in a row prior to Pujols. :rolleyes: Who procedes to hit a perfectly tailor made one hopper back to the ZMan. Who chucks it into outer space. So last night he comes in and procedes to walk the 1st man he faces:wacko: , en route to giving up the winning 5-4 run.
The Cards are doing what a lot of teams have done in MLB history. Just don't beat yourself, watch the other team self destruct. That may seem like I am unpropping the Cards, and to an extent i am. But they have also had the timely hits.
What are the stats are 3-1 teams closing?
