March 9th, 1988
Today the Giants have Frank Viola taking on Tim Englund and the Pirates.
The Pirates scored on the 1st when Bip Roberts led off with a triple and then scored on a one out single by Johnny Ray.
Pirates lead 1-0
I led off the home half by grounding out to Paul Zuvella at short.
With two out Chili Davis walked and then scored on a Ruben Sierra double. Ruben scored on a Rob Deer single.
Giants lead 2-0
I led off in the 3rd and I grounded out to Zuvella again.
I am 1 for 20.
Robby Thompson followed me with a home run.
Giants lead 3-1
Mark Clear came in to pitch in the 5th.
I led off in the bottom of the 5th and grounded out to Ray at 2nd.
1 for 21
We unloaded that inning, scoring seven times and hitting around, but my next time up I was lifted for a pinch hitter.
We ended up winning 11-1
I am hitting .048
This is terrible. I don't think I am in danger of losing my spot, but I am also clearly not ready for the season. I need to turn things around.
