I don't know if Borkowski can handle the Mets. Bases loaded 1 out David Wright at the plate, Mets are a grand slam factory.
Walks kill a team. 2 walks and now the bases are loaded.....ugh. And Jason Lane falls on his ARSE instead of catching that ball.....wow. DD
Jason Lane should never see the field for this team again...pinch hit him occasionally but he is LOUSY out there in right, he took the wrong angle and let a catchable ball drop in for a bases clearing double. What a way to kill a rally....walk 2 guys (who score - a TERRIBLE job by Borkowski) and then have our defense fall down. Just great. DD
Borkowski, while a great mop-up guy, just isn't going to get quality guys out on a regular basis... he knows he has to have pin-point precision on his below-average stuff or else it gets hammered... that's hard to do when you pitch as rarely as he does. But that doesn't excuse defensive blunders.
Willy T on 3rd, no one out.... What do the Astros do???? Fail to be professional hitters. He will NOT score. DD
Biggio got SCREWED......and now they are going to walk Berkman...unintenionally. Yep...ball 4 is now intentional. Lane....WHAT A JOKE...the guy falls on his butt in the outfield, then comes up and will GIDP. Great ! If Lane can bunt it would be a great move. DD
i love the fact that Biggio got in that ump's face. showed a lot of fire. never seen him that jacked up before.
Palmero? Might as well let Borkowski bat. He just stinks....I would rather have kept House up here. DD
I know OP is a "contact hitter" and all but Lamb and Scott are lefties too and aren't exactly free swingers ...
