DSJ DOESN'T get an E and Davis does...

No. I said it before that play.  

But apparently they gave Davis the error.

[eddie83]

So they give Davis an error not Smith. Good grief.

This team isn't good enough to be giving away runs like that ......... and especially with any starting pitcher not named "Cobb" or "Means" on the mound.

I want to see slide at 2nd again. Thought he was off bag.

Outfielders always get fewer errors.

Smith didn't touch it before it hit the ground. That is why errors for outfielders are so pointless. 

I bet they change the error on Davis to a hit.

[eddie83]

Well. Could have been much, much worse.

That was not on Davis at all.

Official scorer disagrees

I mean, I've seen it called an error when it popped out of a guy's glove before.

Well clearly, Davis caused LeBlanc to not cover first somehow.  Maybe some sort of mind control, because he wanted the hot-dogging glory of making that play unassisted.  Totally a textbook E3!

Nah, it wouldn't have been an error if LeBlanc had covered first.

[SteveA]

We need some length from LeBlanc tonight.

We used 7 relievers last night... everyone but Hess and Akin.

We have Eshelman going tomorrow.

We are guaranteed to need 4 innings of relief to protect a lead in the suspended game Friday. 

Then we have a full 9 inning game Friday.

At some point we will ad Lopez to the roster and he will have a fresh arm.
