Where was your thread for Hudson the other day?
Good players have bad games. <shrug>
The offense spots him three runs in the first against a leader for the
Cy Young award, and he gives back five in the second. He threw a lot of
very bad pitches. Frustrating. Dang it.
I agree. I just don't see where the "excuse' question comes into play.
The team as a whole has been sucking lately.
It's like this: "Jair, you are in a big league pennant race for the
first time in your career. You are are pitching in a big game, and your
hitters have just spotted you a three run lead in the first inning
against a tough pitcher. Get out there and show me something, son."
So he goes out there and throws batting practice pitches and gets lit
up. You watched the game, where were those pitches? He didn't do his
job. Pitching isn't like playing LF. He needed to step up and he
didn't do it.
