Andre Ethier

[SCUDSBROTHER]

2 nights in a row now,he has gotten big clutch hits off of a lefty reliever in tie games in the 8th inning.Ethier is a lefty hitter that hits lefties,but they still keep trying to get him out with lefty specialist relievers.After Ethier got a hit off Mike Stanton,that reliever looks disgusted(and ready to call it a career.)Clutch hitting by Furcal and Ethier has been huge during this vein of Gold they have been mining.The starters are trying harder,and these two keep getting clutch hits.Then,they added guys like Lugo in trades.Lugo is not hitting like he can,but he is a very good at doing the little things that teams need to win.Last night a walk late in the game(he scored the winning run.)Tonight a valuable deep sac fly to get the eventual winning run in(winning things.)Now this reliever Broxton seems to be getting better n' better.Throwing 95,96,98,and they aren't able to get the bat on it very well.That is new.He was o.k. 2-3 weeks ago,but not like this.
