just too slow on a liner. Not an easy play or anything, but a faster guy maybe could have gotten there (and probably would have been positioned differently so that he'd definitely get there)
yep. On top of that, the #4 man doesn't pitch in a 5 game series and can be limited in a 7 gamer. Can't understand why everyone needs an ace in every slot. Especially when McHugh has shown the ability--over an entire season--to go off.
And meanwhile, they need to find a way to get Conger in the lineup more and behind the plate less... Acquire a backup catcher just for that, and convert him to 1B in the off-season.
