Buxton's and Mauer's defense certainly can't be overlooked. Mauer saved a ton of errors over at first base, and he hit as we know he can. I'd rate Mauer higher, but do agree on Dozier.
Not getting the other 2 runners in, in the first hurt us bad. A 5-0 lead can't be lost to a 5 run homer. How bad were we with runners in scoring position? This game just had the feel that we'd need to score alot of runs to come out on top and it didn't happen. That's a good team we lost to and they could go all the way. I sure enjoyed these writeups Tom, Thanks for all the hard work. It was an enjoyable season for sure.
My mother is in a nursing home in Ft Myers. I've been getting updates on thier plans. At first they planned to evacuate, but this morning decided against it. Good thing, I can't imagine a bus full of 80 and 90 year olds in their conditions taking a long bus ride.
