Game 74: Angels 10 Pirates 1

We got crushed. I am running out of things to write in recaps. Ian Snell didn't pitch so great, and that was pretty much our only chance against Escobar. I have a ton of family in town which means there is very little Pirate-watching time.

A quick rundown, Escobar didn't really dominate us, with only 4 Ks and 2 walks in 8 innings, but we only got five hits and only scored once. Snell had one bad inning, but since he gave up as many runs in that inning as we've scored in the past four games, things weren't looking so good from there. Our offensive star, according to Yahoo!, was a fat piece of shit that couldn't even run around the bases, but stayed in the game all night because Tracy made our other catcher a DH and to remove Paulino and put Doumit at catcher would forfeit the DH for the night. I realize this is why Tracy has lobbied for Cota on the roster all year, but wouldn't it just be easier to play Doumit in right and DH Nady? Doumit's got a better arm anyways. After Snell went six, Armas came in and made sure no one was coming back from anything and gave up five runs in the next two innings. End of story. Pirates lose.
