I didn't play today and... wow.

The Giants got blown out by the Mets, 14-3

March 12th, 1985

Starting against Lee Tunnell and the Pirates.

Chili Davis left the game in the 1st inning. He tore a ligament in his thumb and will miss the next two weeks of Spring Training. Painful, but it won't cost him. His spot is sewn up.

I led off the bottom of the 1st with a little single past Denny Gonzalez, the Pittsburgh second sacker. I stole 2nd on Tony Pena and then was the first runner to cross the plate on right fielder Mike Jones' 3-run homer! Mike was in for Chili so that was pretty big for him.

I came up with 2 out and nobody on in the 2nd and Lee Tunnel struck me out.

4th inning... I again failed to turn the double play properly. I came up with a big rep for my defense and thing are not working out that way for me so far.

I grounded out to Ozzie Smith in the 5th.

I started what would be a double play off the bat of Greg Gross but Joe Orsulak took out Brad Wellman.

It seemed a little dirty to me, but I am not here to cause trouble.

In the 7th I was pinch hit for by John Castino.

We won the game 9-2.
