thoughts on yesterday’s action
8 May 2007The great thing about baseball is, despite the nearly 45,000 games played each year in MLB alone, amazing and rare things happen almost every night.
- Last night, the Giants scored nine runs in fifth inning. They hadn’t scored nine or more runs in a single inning since April 28, 2004 when they dropped nine on the Braves in the fourth inning of a 10-7 win.
- Before last night, the Giants had scored as many as nine runs in a game just twice.
- Remember all the flack Paul DePodesta took for the LoDuca/Penny trade (especially from one LA sportswriter who shall remain…. Bill Plaschke)? Well, Penny is 4-0 with a 1.39 ERA is just struck out 14 Marlins. And no one would really argue that LoDuca is a better player than Russell Martin, would they? Good job DePodesta.
