Renteria-Cha-Cha-Cha
Unbelievable. I know everyone hits bad patches, and it all evens out in the end, but you think Edgar might be pushing a bit?
Here's his stat line so far:
10 AB
0 hits
4 Double plays
2 K's
So he's responsible for 14 outs already. Three of his double-plays have come with a man on second, killing rallies. He's like a combination of 2003 Johnny Damon (can't hit with men in scoring position) and Jim Rice (the older Jim Rice, when he was better known for double plays than hitting home runs).
Meanwhile, you can't assume the double play, but his error yesterday should have not just been one out, but should have been two. That led directly into Matsui's three run home run. In a one run game. And his poor fielding in the first game led to runs as well.
I've been joking that I miss Nomar. But in reality, right now we would have been better off with Cesar Crespo over these first 3 games. He better turn it around by Monday or he's going to really hear it in Boston.
