The whole team looked kind of star struck and Senzel really choked big time and killed off the rally in the 6th.
Runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in a 3-2 ballgame and then he goes full Alex Blandino and barely lifts the bat off of his shoulder. Watching it live I said to my boss, "That's the game. They had them against the ropes and the last thing that they needed right there was a strikeout and he gave them nothing but a fvcking check swing."
As long as Dumb Bell is the manager of this team, they will continue to play stupid baseball. My coaches would have flat out lit me up for not swinging once in a situation like that. Like Pete Rose always said. "See the ball . . . hit the ball". I would have swung at the first slider he took for a strike on the outside corner of the plate and I would have tried for a ground ball to the right side. If that happens and I ground out to 2nd, Fraley scores and it's a tie ball game. If the ball gets through, we're up by one.
Nope.
He went up to the plate "lookin' for his pitch" and wound up watching a two strike fastball go right over the heart of the plate.
When you go up to the plate unprepared and guessing, the fans see nothing but stupid baseball.
