Don’t be sad, Daisuke!Well, Daisuke pitched an amazing game. 10 strikeouts, 3 hits, 2 walks and 2 runs in 6 innings. He’s definitely showing us something in his first three appearances. I mentioned in the live blog that he’s the first player since Fernando Valenzuela to have 10 or more strikeouts in two of his first 3 major league games. That’s impressive. And he accomplished this against a red-hot Toronto team. I’m very happy with him thus far.
My player of the week had two hits last night and so did Wily Mo. Unfortunately, those four hits (including a home run by Pena) were the bulk of the offense last night. (Manny, Tek and Mike Lowell each connected for a hit as well.)
Chacin pitched a great game and it’s only their second loss in six games, so I’m not ‘worried’. But I am ANNOYED that they’ve sat on their hands for two games in a row that Daisuke pitched. That has to stop. Now would be a good time for that.
Wake on the mound tonight against Tomo Ohka. If the bats can come alive again, I like our chances.
