Brian Wilson freaks me out
After watching Matt Cain pitch another masterful performance tonight against the Marlins, Affeldt came in and was great as usual for 1 1/3. Then Brian Wilson comes in. I had such a great feeling going into the 9th inning. Pablo Sandoval hit a dramatic Grand Slam earlier, and the Giants were up 5-2 in the 9th. It shouldn't have been that intresting in the 9th. Mr. Wilson couldn't figure out how to throw a first pitch strike to almost every hitter he faced, and quickly allowed 1 run. He got a taylor made double play ball that should have eneded the game, but instead of throwing to Molina for the 1-2-3 double play, he threw to 2nd, which would have still ended the game, if he hadn't thrown a change-up to Renteria. I didn't know he could actully throw a baseball less than 90, but I guess he can just to make the game more scary. So the double play wasn't turned. In the end, Mr. Wilson got the job done, and I give him credit for that. Am I being too greedy if I ask for a calmer 9th inning?
