I hate wild pitches. Lack of concentration. I know, sometimes you just lose your grip. I still don't like them, they change games.
The 9th hitter in their lineup destroyed us. That had not happened since Toronto. Pettis and Neris adding to the factory of sadness today
Like I said about Montero on Saturday, a crap outing was inevitable, glad Neris got it out of his system today
I'm fairly certain it's only for the winner. Pena has not been helping his case lately with his slump. Defense really should play a role but I know it doesn't. EDIT: I think if the rookie places top 3 in either MVP or Cy Young voting, then the team also gets a pick.
