It's not an antidote, because one of those would only be needed to reverse bad fortunes. Since we won the weekend in Walnut Creek, there was no need.
What there was need for was a relaxing game to rest injured and tired bodies and minds. The Reds were happy to provide the foil for that to the tune of 25-7. We were up 25-2 after four innings, and it only lasted five and a half innings.
There were no real highlights just hitting, hitting and more hitting. The Reds didn't help themselves by showing up with only eight players and then nine after a couple of innings. The gaps were just too easy to hit for a team that had played four games over the weekend.
Ol' G, Bruce, Chopper and Haze had the perfect games, the first three with 4-4 and Haze 3-3. Pope had his daily three run homer in the first, which effectively ended the game, among three hits. Bruce's line shot triple down the right field line had the game high exit velocity - Statcast estimated 140 mph. Everyone else had at least two hits except Chris who was still moping over his bronze medal MVP for his weekend. Oops I am not supposed to call out people by name for that sort of thing.
A good time was had by all in our second last tuneup before playoffs. Next week we have Johnny's Gang to wrap it up. Win and finish first, that simple. They started out improved but have reverted to form lately. Although not all the results are in, it is likely that if we beat them, they will be our first round opponent in the playoffs.
