Notes:
It was a week of sweeps, we started the week getting swept by the
Mets. All 3 were low scoring, close games including an 11 inning loss. My starters
Kreuger,
Maddux and
Gross combined to give up 4 runs in 21 innings, but my closer,
Nunez gave up 3 runs in 2.2 IP, blowing 2 saves. The offense only managed 5 runs on 16 hits in the series, highlighred by
Schmidt's pinch hit 2 run HR.
Then we swept
Montreal scoring 17 runs in the 3 games.
Meadows went 7 for 10, with 3 3Bs, HR and 5 Rbis. The bullpen pitched better giving up 3 runs in 10 IP.
I decided to shakeup the bullpen and move
Nunez to middle relief and anointed
Jesse Orosco the new closer.
