I didn’t get a good consistent look at this game; watched the first three innings on TV, had the middle few innings on the radio when I was paying more attention to my directions, and watched Mabry lose the ball in the sun somewhere else – and bailed on the game at that point, figuring it was over. Not really, but close enough. Tough to get a feel for a game that way – I have no idea about the balk/non-balk, for instance.
I would’ve liked to see what Borowski’s throwing nowadays, but I guess I’ll have to wait till another day.
Angel was okay. Just that – not really spectacular, but not SERGIO-ing it up either. (How did we miss him? So unfair.) Nolasco seemed quite good, and his line – matching Novoa plus another K – bears that out.
Would’ve liked to get a sweep here, but I think 1 of 2 wins out of rookie pitchers is asking enough. The Brewers should be an interesting series…
