Marty34 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Guillen probably would have pinch run for Dunn. Good move by Ventura leaving him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Swung at ball four, but no choice with Rios batting behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 03:19 AM) Fukudome wouldn't have faced Adams if he was replacing Lillibridge, the Rangers would have brought in that lefty kid. And then Dunn would have to face the Lefty as well. I don't think they had a lefty up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) I don't think they had a lefty up I'd rather have Fukudome face "some kid" lefty, than Mike Adams. Sometimes lefty/lefty match-ups can be a bit overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotta sliders, got squeezed some on the corners, shoulda given up fewer runs than he did but a big De Aza 2 base error hurt, didn't wow or overpower anyone but got outs, found more of a groove towards the end.
