What a relief I felt yesterday. Flaherty was as marvelous as we have come to expect him to be. If we needed him to pitch into the WS and game 7 he would still have it. He’s a big athletic type pitcher and I don’t think he would tire at all.
The bats were pounding the ball and early on to provide some kind of assurance that we would win the game we needed to win. Was the 9-0 lead enough? Believe it or not I wasn’t totally sure we would win. I kept thinking that strange things happen when teams get into our BP, especially on the last day of the season.
So on the Atlanta. I feel good about this series. Confidence levels have risen to a high for this team.
I can see that good pitching will beat good hitting. And I think our offense is starting to click. With Wong back and Edman in right we only drop off on one defensive position, Fowler CF. Bader has really hurt himself at the plate. Give me Edman every day of the week.
I know that Arozarena won’t make the play-off roster… but I would rather see him out there than Bader.
