I was happy to have the chance to see Strasburg pitch today and I know I don't have the baseball creds most of the posters here do, but ...just a couple of observations.
It's really frustrating watching a ST game because no one really seems to be trying to win (well, at least not on our team)....pitchers are pulled too early, stay in too long, the entire outfield changes...you can only really watch it in one or two inning clips. Stras' three inning were great, we even got some offense going. Livan had "the lost inning" which seemed to take FOREVER to finally finish up...after that...there were just bits in pieces of a game - the Vilone throwing error, a great catch in left field, trying to cheer on a 9th inning rally because we were only down 5 runs....and actually getting one run back.
it was a beautiful day for baseball in Viera, just a bit breezy...but the beer was cold.
Let's do it all again tomorrow, shall we?
