Frankly, Nobody's Perfect: Indians 9, Angels 6
One lousy strike, and Weber punches out Blake. It wasn't even close, a fastball over the plate. Instead:
Pitch 1 - BallQuestec or no, Weber got cheated on that one. Not that it would have mattered anyway, as Frankie had already blown the game in the eighth. Whenever Frankie starts throwing a mess of balls, that's when you know he's in trouble. Unable to locate his pitches, Belliard located one for him, in the seats. He's given us so many perfect innings, you have to forgive bad days like this one.
Pitch 2 - Called Strike
Pitch 3 - Called Strike
Pitch 4 - Ball
Pitch 5 - In play, run-scoring playCasey Blake homers (7) on a fly ball to left field. Travis Hafner scores.
The pitching up and down the line was just weak tonight, with the lone and welcome exception of Shields. The team hit well, in the main, but Kennedy's extended slump is starting to worry me -- he's diving toward Mendoza-land. Amezega I don't expect anything from, though his two walks were a plus, and Figgy going 3-5 with two RBIs -- well, you just worry about who the odd man out will be once Salmon and Erstad come back.
Thank God nothing happened between Guillen, the umps, and Scioscia. The last thing this team needed was for him to go down for a week on some lame suspension.
