I got to listen to most of this on the radio and then see the last five or so innings on TV, in between fighting my mom who was watching a season finale. I let out quite a few expletives. Here are my take aways from the game:
- Paulino was dazzling: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 7 K, 1 BB, 87 pitches (55 strikes). That's a stellar 7 K:BB ratio and an even more superlative 8.05 K/100. It's a shame he won't get the token win because of our offensive struggles.
- Miggy was 4/6, with a walk off home run—nuff said.
- Bourn was 2/4 with 1 BB. I just heard Art Howe laud him for manufacturing that run in the 9th, but as I said at the time in the game thread: Luck. Not that I won't take it, but I don't want that outlier event to influence managerial tactics.
- Lance had two hits and a walk...perhaps the five hole really agrees with him.
- Matt Kata had some stellar, stellar defense saves, just not that possible walk off in the bottom of the ninth.
The red bars are where the expletives were let lose.
