1876 - World Series Game 3
Posted 01-17-2017 at 06:44 AM by TheEquinox
Following the two leadoff wins in our home games, I felt confident enough to experiment a little with the lineup. Especially letting Hugh Campbell have a go as our starting pitcher proved to be fatal...
In case anybody hadn't yet been convinced Hugh Campbell's time in Boston is going to end soon, that was the only crystal clear lesson learnt from this game. Hugh showed a miserable performance today. We took an early 4-0 lead again in the second inning, when Nick Wehman, Davy Force and Mike Schulze got the hitting machine going with 3 consecutive hits. Hugh Campbell reached on error and Robby Stoltenberg added another single. 4-0 Boston.
But then it all went down the swanny. Cleveland made good use of Hugh's very predictable pitches and made it 4-2 in the second, 4-7 in the third and 4-10 in the fourth inning. Time to take Hugh off and to replace him with Flip Lafferty. However, the young man also had quite a bad day and allowed Cleveland to score another eight runs for an overwhelming 10-18 defeat in the end.
Okay, we'll just have to forget this one and move on. No more experiments from now on, we've got to get a job done here!
