John Grondin had a bad game 4, as his critical fielding error in the second inning kept Saskatoon's inning alive, and they made the Steamers pay by scoring three unearned runs, providing their only scoring in a 3-2 nailbiter in game 4 of the Cecil Cup.
Cleveland kept the Amigos off the scoreboard the rest of the night, with starter Kaler throwing 7.2 innings without an earned run (but three killer unearned runs), and the Steamers scored single runs in the sixth and eighth innings, but Grondin flew out to left field to end the game, with the tying and winning runners on base. Ouch.
Zev's got game 5 on Saturday night. (Right, Zev?) Will that be the final game? Will it be the last day of the SDMB League as we know it?
Well, Grondin is not at 3B for his defense. I kinda feel like the Mets do with Daniel Murphy, except Grondin is much better with the bat.
ReplyDeleteIt is not all Grondin's fault as Kaler gave up a single to Saskatoon's pitcher after the error allowing another run to score with 2 outs. There was one more run scored that inning, so Kaler had the chance to get out of that inning with only one run scored, but he did not, so I think there is enough blame for everyone.
I am in a tough situation now with this loss by Kaler. I have to win 3 straight games and one will be started by Ramirez. I hope I can make it that far.
Looks like I'm going to run the Saturday night Game 5 sim, not Zev.
ReplyDeleteIf I suddenly develop a life, or something to prevent me from doing so, then Zev will pick it up on Sunday night.
Woo hoo! Go Adams League!
ReplyDeleteSince it looks like this is the last year of the Adams/Zotti war, at least in its current format, let's go out with a bang.
