Ortiz has been swinging at anything within a foot of the zone for a while now. Hell even when he was hitting the ball well there for that stretch, the dude was still swinging at everything. Just a matter of time before pitchers exploited that.
with how long it's been since patrick has pitched, it's not like he'd be pitching back to back days either. Not like i'd want him to anyway since he can't find the strike zone anymore.
sure it could have worked out great, but if it didn't we could have not only lost last night, but also not have Miz available today. Imagine that scenario.
how is the woodruff roster spot looking rough?
He looked okay the other night. Who else should it have gone to? Chad Patrick, who can't throw the ball over the plate?
