Looks like Moncada will get tonight off, as he has struck out in seven straight PA.
ReplyDelete"[Ortiz] just told me that first of all, that happened to him when he first broke into the league, he struck out four times in one game. And that the game's not easy, it's a process and to just stay focused on getting better and playing my game."
Actually, Flo has fanned 4 times in a game 10 times, including last year (September 1, 2015).
9:10 EDT start tonight, not 10:10.
