This is why, once Hader is warmed up, and you have an off day in two days, I bring him in and get the game over with. Now he comes in with the equivalent of a 2 run lead.
I’m sure it’s happened many times on balls hit down the line where the 1B is running with his back to the plate. But I’ve never seen one that close to the plate.
The offense has been pretty weak since Sunday but the pitching bailed them out in 3 games. With Peralta out and Woodruff not pitching like an ace his last couple times out, the offense has to step up. Some high powered offenses coming up on the schedule in the next two weeks and 2 runs per game isn’t going to win many.
