Although he did end up getting the two lefties (Vilar very productively)Really expected Pollard to go to a LHP when he made the change there. Two of them had success last night.
He seems like he can't get out of his lead off approach. I can live with the swing and miss strikeout. The failure was not swinging at the 1-1 curveball thrown down the middle of the plate that he knew was going tobe a strike. You're only going to get bad pitches to hit in a 1-2 count. That was his failure to execute by not swinging at the 1-1 pitch.Lala has K’d several times this weekend with a runner at 3rd and less than 2 outs.
We couldn’t tell that you are upsetI want to pull my hair out. Your team gets you a 2 run lead and the pitcher walks the 1st 2 batters of the next inning. You've just gave them them at leat 1 run if Duke executes.
