Bench Strength, It matters During the Summer : Observation by Ed Stern
Marty: You mention Yankees bench. They picked up Sierra and have him hitting cleanup with his .300 average and big hits. Wouldn’t the Giants like to have him, even with his personality problems? The word is that he is much better these days in that department. As you point out, tonight is a tough one for the Giants, with Brower going. The bullpen is rested and they will undoubtedly need all of them. The Moss fallout! I am looking forward to the next few starts by Williams. Is it possible that this kid is the Giants pitching saviour? They sure need someone to go along with Schmidt. The present rotation inspires small confidence. Other than Schmidt, and, it is to be hoped, Williams, there is no one on the team who can be counted on to give them six good innings. Where is Ortiz, now that we need him? Did someone say Atlanta? I read this morning that Aurilia is getting healthy and due back in the lineup, possibly tonight. I don’t know if that is good news. I like the looks of the Giants, with Perez playing shortstop and hitting second. far more than any lineup with Aurilia. Ed
