COME ON LET’S CELEBRATE…
…well, not yet. I do not want to write about the negative: DLowe’s below average performance, Shady Chicken Little’s shenanigans, and Sauer-Patch Kid’s inconsistency. A win is a win and this one was a big one. The bats came alive as we knew they would. Manny had much better at-bats. He was laying off the pitch on the outside corner instead of trying to pull it. When he starts crushing that pitch to right and right-center, he is on. Another sign is when Manny has long at-bats. He just fouls off pitch after pitch, usually circling around the catcher and umpire frustrated after each foul ball, until he gets one to drive. Hopefully, Manny gets hot and carries this club for a week. This would be the perfect week for Manny to get his freak on!
