You guys aren't going to believe the game I just had, it was incredible even though I ended up losing. I think it shows you just how great these sliders are and you better not ease up at all.
I jumped all over Cole Hamels and knocked him out of the game in the 5th, scoring 5 times on him. After a Escobar base clearing double off of a reliever I went up 8-2 in the 6th. I figured, well this game is over...let me go ahead and get Cain out of here and turn it over to my pen.
Philly ended up scoring 2 in the 7th and 4 in the 8th. Now all of a sudden it's a tie game. I go to the 9th and the first pitch Matt Holiday see he launches in the LF seats and I'm up 9-8. I'm thinking thank goodness I didn't end up blowing this one.
Thought wrong again, I bring in my closer and he gives up a one out single and after striking out Werth he gives up a single to Ruiz. After walking Rollins and loading the bases he throws a wild pitch to tie the game up and on a 2-2 count Dobbs hits a ground ball in the hole Escobar can't get to and I end up losing 10-9.
What a game, even though I lost it's one of those games that convinces me even more that this slider set is perfect. I've never had a game like this before.
