Two games in a row Mauer takes the safe route instead of the force at 2nd, and both cost us a run. When runs are as hard to get as they are for us now, that's taking a step backwards.
It's a beautiful day here, so the problem is do I go play golf, or sit inside and watch Buxton. Not a hard choice, really. Let's get a win today, finally, it seems.
But he could go 0 for the next 10. Like I've always said, poof isn't very good. He's streaky and that's it. His confidence is at zero right now, just like Danny Santana's, but he can't be sent down to find it. We are stuck with him. For now.......
Any of these games should be a treat to take in. Perfect weather, fighting for first place and smoke dancing. Attendance should be way up there, and I hope not to hear so much cheering for the visitors like the Brewers games had.
