A Rip and a Rant
Top of the third, runners on first and second, nobody out, Daryle Ward up to bat. Ward strikes out, his inability to at least move a runner to third cost us the game. Ward has been smacking the bejebus out of the ball lately, but he also likes to ground into double plays and strike out when runners are on the basepath. If he makes a productive out there, we might win this ballgame.
Also who would have rather seen Bobby Hill bat second today? Ty Wigginton and Tike Redman need to prove that they belong in the lineup; they do not deserve the benefit of the doubt. Bobby Hill has played his way into the lineup and warrants a majority of the games at third base. Until Redman or Wigginton prove otherwise, Mackowiak ought to be starting in center and Hill at third, and Freddy Sanchez be considered next in line if someone needs a day off.
