Don't forget Cruz at SS...the guy doesn't know how to get in front of a groundball...plays everything off to his side and doesn't charge the ball. Plus, he had a nice bonehead running play trying to steal second. Which brings me to Felipe Alou...twice Cruz reached first with LeDee (atrocious) at the plate hitting behind him. Now Ledee is 2 for 30 something recently but both times he ran the count to three balls. But Alou sends Cruz both times and both times LeDee swung at ball four trying to protect Cruz...and, of course, Cruz was tagged out stealing both times. My opinion...crappy managing. The last thing you need to do is put more pressure on a shyte hitter when his best chance of getting on base is a walk. Had Alou not sent Cruz in the 7th, Ledee would have walked and the Giants would have probably scored 4-5 runs instead of 2.
LeDee, Hermanson, and most of the bullpen will be lucky to be playing for Tampa Bay next year and Cruz should be sent back.
This team might be the second highest scoring team in the NL but their bullpen completely negates it. This team is done...but I thought this a month ago.
Gl tonight...
