i know things got a little dicey with the indians under, but the fact is that you capped that game correctly whether it won or lost. both starting pitchers were very good. westbrook was terrific after giving up 4 runs with 2 out and nobody on in the first. and the indians (for the second time in a week) had all kinds of trouble putting runs on the board against hendrickson. the indians were certainly aided by that error tampa made in the 7th that opened the door for those 3 runs. i sorta see where lou was coming from by not bringing hendrickson out for the 7th because it would have been the 4th time through the order for the hitters. but he was only at 84 pitches.
bottom line -- that game was correctly capped as an under. both teams had one good inning apiece, and that was it.
nice play.
thanks gman
agree that the game shouldn't have had to be a sweater. Got lucky that the clear balk wasn't called, but you are right, should never have been in that position anyway.
Too many people are results oriented. Yeah, they matter in the long run, but all you can do is cap games correctly and hope the ball falls your way and let the winning percentages take care of themselves. Tonight they fell my way. There will be plenty of other nights where it won't.
Hope all is well with you and gl in the MAC this season.
