Thought on today's game...
-Jay Bruce is a new player. Dropped 15 pounds, being more selective at the plate, and he took a low breaking ball into the seats. Last year, that's a K. I wonder how long it will take opposing teams to catch up with that and change the scouting report.
-Dusty left Arroyo out to dry. Ondrusek should have been getting ready at the start of the 7th. By the time Arroyo was in deep trouble, it was too late. Should have been gone after the first base runner, but Ondrusek wasnt ready.
-Dusty made up for it by letting Chapman go two innings. w00t.
-Ryan Hanigan has the best bat control on the team (98% of the time he swings at a strike he gets contact, I think the best in baseball in 2011), and always gives you a good AB. These are the things in baseball you can not measure. Stubbs on first, one out in the 9th, Hanigan was the perfect guy to have up. I called it in the chat box, you just knew he would poke one behind the runner, and he did, setting up the game winner.
-Bray needs to be ready to go fro the Cards, because Chapman is probably unavailable for two days. At least one for sure.
-I hope Miguel Cairo plays forever. Useful guy, underrated player.
