Questions: Mets 3, Dodgers 2
With men on first and second in the bottom of the sixth, Grady Little decided to go with Tim Hamulack to face Carlos Delgado. Delgado then flied out to center deep enough to allow both players to tag up and advance. Little then called in Brett Tomko, who gave up an RBI single to David Wright.
Here's my question: why didn't Little use Jonathan Broxton? Having seen a soft-tossing righty in Maddux all game, wouldn't a hard thrower have broken up their rhythm a little more? Whatever the explanation was, it marred an otherwise solid outing by Maddux. Too bad; get 'em tomorrow, I suppose.
Update: Interesting quote from Tomko:
"The 3-2 pitch was 96 [mph] on the inner third and he stayed inside it," Tomko said, a compliment to Wright's swing. "The 2-2 slider was almost the exact pitch I struck [Shawn] Green out with [one batter later]. For whatever reason, it wasn't called. I threw the 3-2 pitch where I wanted and got beat."Since when has he been throwing mid-90's?
