Postgame thoughts (July 29, 2011)

The view from the booth in Clinton.

Clinton 5, Wisconsin 3
Boxscore | Game Story

• Brooks Hall! Ten strikeouts! One Walk! One Earned run!
• Also, One balk. I’m not sure why it was a balk.  Matt Erickson didn’t look like he thought too much of the explanation
• The talk on the bus was the 3-2 pitch from Williams to Kevin Williams in the 7th.
• That was the second walk of inning.  3-2 pitch looked very, very good.
• Look, I don’t want to turn this nightly post into a nightly whine about calls that don’t go the Rattlers way.
• Just pointing out that the call there put two one base with one out. Instead of one one at first with two outs
• Positives tonight:
• Have I mentioned Brooks Hall?  Brooks. Hall.
• Romero with a triple AND his second walk of the road trip.
• RBI #72 for Mike Walker
• Nick Ramirez with a solid single to right for his first Midwest League hit.
• This road trip is over. It feels like the bus has been on the road forever.
• I actually referred to my hotel room this morning as “Home”
• Getting home early this morning; can’t wait to see Time Warner Cable Field…can’t wait to be HOME again.
• The Rattlers will get another crack (well, four cracks) at the LumberKings next week (8/2-5).
