Wakefield 3 runs, 4 hits in 8 innings. Not bad. But we just didn't have our bats going until the 9th. Only 4 measely hits. Poor Josh Bard behind the plate, couldn't catch a break or a ball with Wakefield at the mound. He allowed 6 passed balls in one game, where Mirabelli allowed that an entire season. It takes years to catch a knuckleballer. Mirabelli has been quoted saying that it took him 2 years to allow the ball to come to him. In order to acquire Loretta, who has been playing great I might add, Mirabelli had to go to San Diego. Currently he out of the starting line-up due to lower back stiffness. Josh Bard has big shoes to fill and lots of practice. Keep watching those videos of Dougie Josh. You'll get there.
Ty Wiggington of Tampa Bay was struggling. Tried to tag up and sneak off of third but was picked off by the Nixon/Veritek relay throw. Then in the 9th, he missed 2 balls at 3rd and it was like watching the Red Sox, prior to the World Series win, when the "curse" was in full swing. That would happen to us all the time. So now, the bases were loaded up with one out and Trot gets in the batter's box. He has had 8 grand slams in his career. Striks out. Damn. Golden boy Jason gets up to bat. 2 grand slams in his career. Flies out. Damn.
Blue Jays today! Go get em Beckett!
