9/24 Games

Carela was really tough out there today.  At one point he made a very nice 1-unassisted play at the plate to help himself out of a bases loaded jam.

Outside of the early run by Nishida, the bulk of the game was a pitching duel. Very solid stuff from the bullpen. Pretty confident we'll see Pallette in the big league pen next year.

But a 1-0 lead is very hard to hold, and Adler let the tying run across with 2 outs in the 9th.

Turner led off with a single bottom 9 and advanced to 2nd on a sac bunt.

Gonzo moved him to third, Tatum got an IBB, and Goose was right on a couple of foul balls but ultimately grounded out. 

To extras we go. Adler still pitching, Barons will have the top of the order up in their half.

In addition to the players, I should mention that Sergio Santos and his staff also deserve a hell of a lot of credit. They lost their entire first half winning rotation (Thorpe, Adams, Iriarte, Bush, Eder), a good chunk of their lineup (Baldwin, Ramos, Elko, Quero...), a few quality pen arms (Coffey, Cousin, AHT, Ellard...), and still managed to win it all.

Not easy to find success while juggling integrating waves of new guys, having your best guys promoted away, dealing with midseason injuries, and fighting through a second half slump.

And for whatever it's worth, I've seen a few relatives of players specifically shouting out the support they feel like their guys have gotten from Santos and the staff in making adjustments, staying focused, and building a winning environment.

Also, this is fun:
