I think Peguero was one game away from a bus trip to Tacoma.....and he came up WAY big. Way to go kid.
I do believe that he was a goner if he had pulled another ofer. He didn't....and didn't in a way big way.
However, I'm not sure this is a really good thing right now.
If you toss him a mistake down and over the plate you may as well just go into your nuclear attack drill mode and curl up in a little ball, whining as you go.
But...throw it up and in and you make the kid look REALLY bad.
Pretty soon he's going to see nothing but high heat. Pretty soon starts tonight, I bet.
So, we probably get to watch a bunch of Peguero flameout nights. Right now, since winning today (and not just next year) counts for much more than we thought it might, I really prefer Carp.
Fate doomed Carp. A couple hours short of his call up and a bunch of LF time, Peguero goes all Willie Stargell on Shields.
And Cust might actually look like Cust.
If I'm Carp, I think I just said "Drats!", or stronger words to that effect.
