Hapless, that’s what it was. C.C. Sabbath didn’t pitch poorly, even when he allowed the go-ahead run in the 7th. No, it was all those 6-4-3 double plays–4 in all–that doomed the Yanks to a 5-2 loss.
Really, there ain’t much good to say about this one, much good to remember about it (with the exception of a weird base hit off the bat of Brian McCann that looked like a knuckle ball).
Forgotten it yet?
Good, let’s move on.
Home field for the play in game, here we come. But really, with the way the offense has been running hot and very cold, I'm not expecing getting out of the LDS.
Guess that Joe G has decided NEVER to bunt or steal. 4 DPS and at the time one run would have been important. Seems like it's been increasingly the case in the past couple of days (except for McCann bunting for a hit against the shift).
