This……is the vibe we’re looking for.
Another helluva game, but a little different. Jumped out quick and pretty soon went from “Murderers Row” to Skid Row offensively. Mix in the Keystone Cops fielding, Sully losing track of mound visits, and a little shake from the pitching allowing the Orals to outhit us and voila, there’s a game we could easily have lost. But we didn’t. And we‘ve still got a chance to make it to the finals.
A couple of things to consider…We live by the long ball and we’ve also got a couple of holes in the BO that are as likely not to produce. There’s no fix at this point. The guys that have been carrying us have to keep carrying us. The deeper we get into this thing, the better it works out for us or at least it could. My biggest gripe yesterday was the impact the officiating has on the flow of the game. It was a crap fest and represents to me what trying to get everything perfect, knowing there’s no such thing, can potentially do more harm than good. But I digress.
Traditionally, you can follow the stats and get a fair idea of what to suspect is going to happen. Heck, you can rub one out nightly to the Baseball Almanac. But I submit to you that it is post season college baseball with young adults and teenagers sporting Porn-staches and anything is possible. That’s why we watch, that’s we we bytch, that’s why we cheer. We’re 2-0. Enjoy the excitement but don’t forget to take your bp meds. It’s a helluva game and not always conventional.
