I was at tonight’s game and it was one of the best atmospheres for a regular season game in recent years. Jose had an excellent evening with two hits and a remarkable night defensively as well.
Unfortunately, the lineup went to sleep collectively after the fourth inning and the bullpen wasn’t sharp. The overturned call at first on Kepler, which was the correct call, completely changed the game with Mercado’s poor read on the ball hit by Polanco the nail in the coffin.
Bobby Bradley looks completely overwhelmed at the plate and simply can’t hit major league breaking balls at this point. Need to bounce back tomorrow and Sunday or else the momentum built in recent weeks will disappear.
