Pads drop the ball in second game of the series

Related Topics: Cricket ball, Pads

Yesterday was nice. Let's go back to yesterday. We had a cool comeback despite some poor starting pitching and the offense was clicking. Today, instead, the pitching fell apart and the offense got nothing going.Just the right ingredients for a decisive loss.

Erik Johnson was totally abysmal today. He lasted a weak 4 innings, gave up 6 hits and 6 runs, 2 home runs, and a walk. At this point, he's bringing nothing to the table as a starter other than runs. A James Shield replacement in the sense that he's giving up at least 4 runs and a home run every start.
