this might be a win-win kind of trade. Not sure Sweeney is going to develop into the kind of leader and energy-driver that Swish is. They aren’t the same kind of hitter either. Who were the other guys in the trade, do you remember?

Not sure which one, but whoever took over for Niehaus when the announcers switched, just said, “Hanra … uh, Hannahan”.
At least he caught himself. That’s progress.

Ziggy got 6 outs – he can’t pitch the whole game every game (unfortunately). This is a perfectly good use of Embree.

I think Geren played it perfectly
I’d like Ziggy to be the 8th inning guy, but even if he were I would have said bring him into the 6th because THAT was the situation where he was most needed. So even if Ziggy were the “8th inning guy” normally, once you have bases loaded and one out in a one-run game, you switch them around and give Ziggy the 6th/7th, wait for a lefty and go to Embree. Well done.
