Not Feeling So Dirty Now!!
How about that Shaun Marcum? After yesterday’s post on my site detailing my thought process in putting up Marcum to start, he completely fulfills my faith in him by hurling a gem: 7 innings, 6 hits, one walk and one run.
The result? Before the day started I was down 1-7-2. Combined with a save from CJ Wilson, I am now winning for the week, with a 5-4-1 lead. If only every decision worked out so well. Take that Farino!
There is a good lesson in this though, and that is that even if Marcum got hammered it would have still been the correct decision. One of the very first posts I wrote on my site was on why one should not worry about the results as long as the decision making process was valid.
They key to the rest of the week will be my offense picking it up. Yesterday Aramis Ramirez and Magglio Ordonez hit homers (and I had the pleasure of seeing Magglio’s on the Extra Innings package). I am still losing in the batting average category, but I hope to pick that up over the weekend, so if I can hold my ground on ERA and WHIP (no easy feat) I may be able to eke out a win. Hopefully Meche and Morales won't pitch like Santana and Peavy!
