Allow me two shout-outs, one with
finger-pointing, that being for the Cardinals on Sunday. Who does that to a guy?
The guy in question is rookie
pitcher Roel Ramirez, who gave up back-to-back-to-back-to-back jacks in the
bottom of the fifth inning in the game against the White Sox. Why exactly did Cardinals’ manager Mike
Shildt keep Ramirez in the game to take the full brunt of the assault? I mean, there were two outs, so Ramirez had
already faced the minimum number of batters.
Then, to send him down the next day, hey, very classy, not.
As to the White Sox hitting six
homers against the Tigers last night, with Tim Anderson and Luis Robert each
clubbing two, cool. Danny Mendick
joining in on the action, cool again.
Anderson and Yoan Moncada entered the record books as the first-ever MLB
players to go back-to-back leading off a game against the same pitcher in a
season while the Sox courtesy of their dynamic duo became the first-ever MLB team
to start a game with back-to-back jacks twice within a five-game span.
I can live with that, just as long
as it leads to wins.
