And What a Fifth!Good to see Dirty back in the lineup, 1 for 2 with 2 BB. I object to comparisons to Tike Redman, I have observed Freddy to be a much more patient player at the plate and feel that he could grow into a solid middle infielder.Mackowiak comes through vs. the left-hander, going 1 for 3, but did have two strikeouts. Mack at this point is most likely considered the everyday starter at center, but will still get occasional starts at third. Still, he will probably only start about 85% of the total remaining games; not because Mac is an ass, but because he does have a tendency to pace his players for the season, especially ones that aren't used to starting everyday. Has Doumit even done anything in the field today? I guess it was pretty smart to give him the start today in right, though I wouldn't mind seeing a defensive replacement if Perez comes out of the game. And Jose Castillo! Pulling out of his slump maybe, he just earned himself one less day off, which before today, I'm pretty sure was looming. I'm also going to jump the gun a little bit and assume that Perez doesn't give up a combination of four hits and walks next inning. Because of his string of three games with a WHIP under 1.2, we here at bleacherblogger.com are officially proclaiming Oliver Perez back. posted by Rory at 8:44 PM | |
