I still like Alcala, but not sure I like him back to back days.
Also the capper was Julien striking out looking in the 8th. Now in fairness strike 3 was really ball 4, but he drives me nuts with his lack of aggressions.
it's not really lack of aggression. he swings from the heels if he thinks the pitch is a strike. but he is so convinced that he is the master of the strike zone that he cannot or will not swing at any pitch that he determines to be out of the strike zone - but he also does not take the umpire into account.
Julien literally thinks he is a better judge of the strike zone than the Umpire. unless he learns this is a losing strategy, he is going to look himself out of baseball.
his baseball obituary will read "career ended due to being stubborn."
