Sometimes those pitching matchups between..
two good pitchers don't turn out as advertised. Exhibit A was tonight's 6-5 Thunder win over the Defs as Trenton's Zach McAllister and CT's Tim Alderson both were very hittable and neither figured in the outcome. Instead it was Trenton's bullpen beating the Defs bullpen as CT's Geivy Garcia (0-2 5.86 ERA) takes the loss.
CT had 12 hits in the game; four doubles and a triple but never had the big hit to bust it open. Brock Bond (RBI), Bobby Felmy (RBI), Brad Boyer (left the game with no explanation), and Adam Witter (RBI) all had two hits each. Brett Pill and Brandon Crawford drove in the other runs
Alderson gave up four runs in the second as he went 5 IP with 8 hits allowed. Ben Sndyer gave up a run in 1.1 IP with 4 hits allowed. Garcia's lead off walk in the 8th proved to be the difference as Matt Yourkn gave up the game winning single.
Trenton's bullpen threw 3.2 IP of shutout ball and record 7 Ks to nail down the win.

another one run loss, and a loss at home, instead of designating players like Antoan whose skills (speed) can actually come in handy, why not send Garcia to so-called "extended spring training"?

In case you weren't at the game, in the bot. of 9th inning, just when Trenton recorded the final out of the ball game, Bobby Felmy had a word to Trenton's closer Jose Valdez about something that made the benches clear. That is the first time I ever seen a bench clear like that happen in person. Except at the time I went to a hockey game, I've seen it a whole lot worse.
