Previous message                 Next message Message #: 27561 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Dec 16, 2012 Subject: Blue Jays @ Brewers, Game 1 Fighting to stay alive, the Jays sent Charlie Leibrandt to the mound against Kirk McCaskill.  The contest started off typically (i.e., badly) but Toronto ended up getting some quality performances from unexpected sources (like the bullpen).   With McCaskill known to be soft on lefties, substitutes such as Greg Briley, Warren Cromartie and Jack Howell entered the Toronto lineup while regulars Ivan Calderon, Dave Winfield and Kelly Gruber sat and waited.    One of those 3 subs would try to single-handedly cost the Jays the game; another of the three played a big role in winning it.   Robbie Alomar (who would go 5 for 6 today) led off the game with a double and moved to third on a groundout.  Needing only a sac fly to take a critical lead, Cromartie stepped in -- and rolled his empty 3 column for a strikeout.  Joe Carter also fanned.  No score.   John Olerud led off inning #2 with a 1-12 shot at a home run -- and got the 12 instead of inevitably being stranded at second with a double!!!   The Jays had 2 runners on base with 1 out in the 3rd.  Cromartie stepped in -- and rolled his empty 3 column for a strikeout again.  Joe Carter also failed to deliver the runs.  Score stays 1-0.   Willie Wilson led off the MLA 4th with a very low-probability BP single and successfully swiped second during a blown hit & run play.  Two outs later he was still there -- then the Brewers came up with not one but two clutch hits to take a 2-1 lead.   Moments later, Greg Myers led off inning #5 with a 1-12 shot at a home run -- and got the 12 instead of inevitably being stranded at second with a double!!!  Tie game.   Later in that same inning the Jays had 2 runners on base with 1 out, Cromartie stepped in -- and rolled his 1 column.  Not a strikeout this time -- even better: a rally-killing GIDP!  Three at bats in 5 innings, all with less than 2 outs, 6 runners on base, 1 runner erased along with the inning itself, and 5 others LOBbed, 4 of them in scoring position.  Beautiful.   Leibrandt shortly left the game for usage reasons.  Rod Nichols took over in relief for the Jays and was followed by Bob Macdonald, and they merely combined for 4 scoreless innings (!) and just 2 baserunners.  Maybe they should have been the closers all along instead of the serial chokers with the fantastic cards.   The MLA pen broke down completely, allowing 7 runs over the final 3 innings mainly thanks to rallies keyed by Jack Howell, who had 3 hits including a home run from the 6th inning on.  Howell plated what turned out to be the winning run in the 6th and was the final batter McCaskill faced.  Howell also made an important successful x-play at third base earlier in the contest, something which Kelly '1' Gruber has been loath to do lately.    Final score: 10-2, but it was WAY closer than that most of the day.   Alan
