Too bad that one didn't go out, but Nelly sure is hitting that ball hard every time he's at the plate today. They might want to think about pitching around him next time
It just highlights what's so frustrating about him. He can go 0/7 in a game we lose in 18, then grab 2 homers the next day in a game we also lose. Let's be clear: yesterday the offense on the whole failed the pitching staff. Today was a team effort. I just think a guy who can go 0/7 twice in a 10-day span has a LOT to work on and it isn't made up for with one good game, and I would totally trade him for a decent offer.
I SO don't want to criticize Sano since he's literally the only one generating offence today, but you couldn't have done JUST ONE of those in any of your 7 at bats yesterday?
You know, 6 outs used to seem like plenty to make up a 2-run deficit. At least Kip gets us off on the right foot (as opposed to the left). Now, please, no DP.
