Yeah. Last night was bad. Whooped 13-0. Out hit 11-2. Four errors.
Nieve: 2IP, 4H, 5ER, 2BB
Norris: 1.1IP, 4H, 5ER, 4BB
Wright: .2IP, 2H, 3R (0ER), 2BB
Fulchino: 2IP, 1H, 1BB
Graves: 1IP, 1K
Gervacio: 1IP, 1K
Abercrombie and Smith get the only two hits. Newhan, Smith, Abercrombie and Wright committed the errors. That's eight walks, compared to 3 strikeouts. And there's only so many times you can say "At least it's spring training" before you get that nervous pit in your stomach. Says Coop: Let's hope it's spring training and it all gets kicked out of here."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
