OK boys, here’s the deal. Runner at 3rd, fewer than 2 outs. What do you want to do? No, Coco, strike out swinging is not the correct answer. No, Mark, grounding into a double play is not correct either. You want to GET THE BALL OUT OF THE FREAKING INFIELD! Really, is this so hard? The Angels didn’t seem to have any problem with it. We had:

• a chance in the 2nd
• a chance in the 5th
• two chances in the 6th (yes, that means there was a runner at 3rd with no outs and didn’t score)

I know the final score makes it look like getting those runners in from third with fewer than 2 outs wouldn’t have been a big deal, but when the game was 1-0, or 2-1 going into the 7th, it might have made all the difference.

So Lester is no longer perfect. I’m not terribly shocked. But to the weak hitting Angels? Ugh.
