On the bright side, we're getting guys on. Hopefully we can keep doing so. When Kuroda has gotten behind hitters, he has looked very pedestrian. When he's gotten ahead, well...that's when the filth comes out.
That strikeout aside, Lucroy really does remind me of Paul Molitor when he's up at bat. Bat resting on the shoulder, relatively quiet (some activity, but then again, Molitor was a statue), and a compact swing that is mostly quick wrists.
I think it was further out of his reach than it looked. As Vin Scully said, it was hit so high that Hart thought he had a chance to catch it until the last moment.
Thank god, the MLB Network crew changed at 11:00 (EST). They were just talking for a few seconds about Gomez - the usual stuff that he's a great fielder and runner, but the question about him is whether or not he can hit. Larry Bowa had a great line: "He could bunt .260."
