Hustle
Things on my Mind:
–Phillies Centerfielder Aaron Rowand was placed on the DL with a broken nose. He sustained that broken nose going all-out on a deep fly ball. He rana mile to track the ball down, caught it, and slammed into the wall real hard. Some will say that it’s not wise to go full speed like that because you risk injury. But I applaud Rowand and he is one of the best fielding outfielders in all of baseball because of his great jumps, great instinct, and full blown hustle and determination. Get well soon Aaron.
–Here’s something that should be fun to follow. The following pitchers have yet to give up an earned run this season (minimum 9 IP), let’s see who goes the longest… (Duaner Sanchez’ streak ended at 21.2 IP)
- Ramon Ramirez (COL) 14 IP
- Rheal Cormier (PHI) 11.1 IP
- Dave Borkowski (HOU) 9.1 IP
