Yeah, Manny can't catch up to a 90MPH fastball.
Will he get it together? I hope so, it only takes a string of hits for him to really get it going.
He just needs to change his approach at the plate, he wants to hit that HR blast so the fans will love him again, but move the runner over, hit a single or geton base.
Ever since he's come back, I've noticed a majority of his outs are high pop flys - getting under every pitch.
A lot of "experts" didn't credit the Dodgers bench at all, when they see the Cardinals 1-2 pitchers they automatically think it would be an easyseries.
We know the Dodgers have shown to be a resilient team the whole year and it showed yesterday.
Ned was smart adding Sherrill to the pen, although he hasn't pitched in many big games the NL isn't too familiar with him and the health of Hong ChihKuo has been a major factor of how good our pen has been.
Having that Kuo and Sherrill punch back there is big versus the Cards and would be important if, not looking ahead of course, we faced the Phillies.
