Too Many Walks

This is a simple, but true, baseball saying - "make 'em earn it."

Too many walks leading to cheap runs that ended in a 5-4 loss to the Padres last night. Alfredo Aceves, who reminds me of Julian Tavarez, just didn't have it in the 2nd inning. 5 walks in a row = 2 runs. That's just a horrible performance by a big leaguer.

If Lackey can throw strikes today & make them earn each base, we will take the series.

Let's talk about JD Drew's hittng, or lack of it. He has been terrible all year with only a couple of exceptions. I think he even leads the league, or is close to it, in multiple strike out games. Maybe it is time to give Reddick a shot at every day.
