EXTRA! EXTRA! Rox Win Road Series!
Just thought you should know. And remember what I was saying earlier about the bats coming around? Let’s track the folks I highlighted in the first post today…
Tulo - 1 for 5 with 2 K’s (yikes) and 3 left on (eek!), but one run scored. Not a great night, but he contributed all the same.
Willy T - 1 for 4 with a run and one K, and 2 for 2 on the basepaths. Again, a run scored, and again, not an ideal night but not an unproductive night either.
The Big Guys - Helton has his typical 2 for 3 (should’ve been 3 for 3, that was a trap) night with an RBI, 2 walks, and 2 runs, and Holliday lights it up with 3 RBIs of his own including a 2-run homer.
Brad Hawpe, who’s been looking better all the time since being benched in favor of Baker a while ago, also contributed 3 RBIs. And there’s your production, and a nice road series win. Nine runs is good enough to even survive two thirds of an inning with Tom Martin, who will be let go as soon as Ramon Ramirez returns if there is any justice in this world.
Finally, how about that Denny Bautista? His stuff in the last two games has been ridiculous, and it’s pretty clear now why he’s still in the majors - his stuff is FILTHY, with a capital…everything. With any luck, he’ll find some consistency and give Hurdle another option besides LaTroy to fill in the gap between the fifth and seventh innings, when Ramon takes over.
Dan Lucero (wow, the guy’s just reading my mind right now, he whipped out ‘FILTHY’ for his article too) has a good post on bullpen reorganization over at MVN.
