Wonder whether Antonacci should have been throwing to second on that game-tying play

Almost impossible angle/pivot to get it there to second...but should have just put in his pocket.

Sheer talent is winning out here.

Shouldn't be a shocker...Lorenzen only had the one decent offer ($8 million) from Colorado of all teams.

 

“It's always been interesting to me. I've always wondered what it would take to pitch at Coors more so on like the pitch shapes, how the ball moves, ball flight. … Just to be able to put it into practice and see what works, what doesn't, is exciting to me,” Lorenzen told Jake Peavy in an MLB Network special.

Surprised by how many times I saw Antonacci whiff on pitches in the zone the last handful of games (insofar as I thought that never happens)

Sucks that Antonnacci was the last out, but what a tourney for him.

Should probably have started Roccio at SS.

Might have helped prevent that three run inning.

Natural SS.

For people who watched this, was it the difference between facing meh and star talent?
