Another :sweep: right here. Unless somehow we get some offense against Cueto in our Shark game.

Ehh, it's really difficult to sweep a double header.... but that could be the only game we win in this series.

Wood vs. Arroyo: depends on which Wood and which Arroyo show up.
Samardzija vs. Cueto: will most likely be a pitchers' duel, could go either way
TBD vs. TBD: whoever doesn't win the first game will win the second.
Volstad vs. Latos: guaranteed loss

Real nice at bat by BJax there after falling behind 0-2 to work the count and hit a ball hard even if it was an out. Again the ability to work the count and drive the ball is why his ceiling is so much higher than Campana's even with the contact issues.

He is making contact. The baserunning and defense makes him a useful player if he can get the strikeouts down under 30% of the time.

I had 2 ideas on the Jackson hit:

1) Like the announces said, he was running to back up the throw and rant too far to re adjsut to the ball.

2) Castro got in his way and he lost sight of the ball.
