I thought the bases were clearing.
I'll say it again. I hate Aoki.
However, Navarro lost himself a little there on the 3-1 pitch trying to hit one out. That was a costly swing.
thats what a good defensive right fielder brings to a team
All right. Got two more!!
Cozart pops up a lot
Navarro confirmed terrible way to swing at ball 4
I would have flushed the bases on that one. I'm glad we didn't.
Well I stand corrected on the offense. Unfortunately Ioki>Stubbs.
Aoki has saved them several runs tonight. Obviously if that ball drops right there we probably have this thing tied up. But earlier - maybe the 2nd inning - he was positioned perfectly on Hanigan and caught a liner near the line that probably would have scored a couple.
Yeah, we need to find a loophole that sends Aoki back to Japan!!
Really good D
SCOTTY!! Still got it.
Great play by Rolen.
I don't do this very often, but this could be a "one-batter too many" night by Dusty.
Granted, if Arroyo was pulled, the reliever could have given up 15 runs you never know.
The 22-3 run was great and all but its in the past, if we don't come back off their godawful BP that run only will have netted us just a handful of games in the standings.
Over the last 39 games if we don't come back we will have only picked up 2 games on both the Cardinals and Pirates and we went 5-1 against them combined with us winning .692 ball over the span.
If we get beat by a rival and a team that just rolled over for 3 in St Louis to lose 2 games in standings to both chasing us while starting a 7 game trip while the rivals are both at home, its ok to be upset and you can still be a fan.
