The bats didn't wake up and in fact added 11 more K's to the mix bringing the season total to 38...I wonder what the most strikeouts to start the season is? I bet we are in the mix. The frightening thing is we haven't faced any good pitching yet. I do think the team is playing a bit tight. Eventually it will pop and I feel sorry for the pitching staff that day! Anyway I am going to officially start the Hurdle Watch. How long is management going to put up with his sorry managing. He gets a free pass because of last year but yesterday was a prime example of terrible managing. Two things I had a problem with: 1) not pinch hitting for Herges in the bottom of the 6th. Granted he came in and threw two pitches but the Roxs were down 5-0 and needed base runners. Herges got to the plate, flailed at 2 pitches and watched another one. What was up with that? 2) Bringing in Corpas without a save situation...come on you don't bring a guy in to mop up in the 9th...you don't want your opponent to see more of his stuff and hell throw out someone you could use the work.
Anyway terrible opener...certainly didn't make any new fans. It was a very poor effort and a waste. Hopefully today they can pick up...unfortunately it is against Webb.
