Bases loaded, none out in the 9th. Another blown game. This team is lacking something. At least they changed the batting order.
You're right, something is amiss. Not sure it was prudent to put the worst hitter so far this season in the cleanup spot. It seems obvious there's something wrong with Cal, and letting him play through it doesn't seem to be the answer. I'd rather he hit the IL to actually recover so we can have him healthy for the long haul. Whatever this is isn't going to cut it, and I am thinking Dan Wilson may be feeling some deserved pressure soon.
