Bucs Batter Blue Jays!
Toronto
(ATL) The more manager Mark Dewdney's status seems to be the talk of
the town, the farther down his player's performance seems to sink. In
the second game of a long six game homestand against the Pirates,
things got rather ugly. The game did hold out some promise for the Blue
Jays as the team's ace, one Roger 'Rocket" Clemens, had returned from
the DL and was going to lead Dewdney's troops into battle.
Unfortunately, Rocket was nowhere near top form, perhaps still feeling
the ill effects of his spring training shoulder injury. In any case the
Pittsburghers quickly put a pair of runs in the first when the red hot
Rogers Hornsby doubled in Lloyd and Delahanty. Things only got worse
from there for the hometowners, as spitballer Eddie Walsh cruised
through the Jays lineup and Clemens was consistently banged around by
the Pittsburgh batters. Two more runs came in the third, also courtesy
of Hornsby, delivered via his 6th four bagger of the young season.
Three more Bucs crossed the plate in the fourth and now the rout was
officially on. There was a small commotion in the fifth when Eddie
Walsh himself laced a double down the right field line and Thurmon
Munson came around to score from first, head down and legs churning
furiously. The Jays' manager accused the the Bucs' skipper of
unsportsmanlike conduct, while Mortimer maintained that Munson, a
back-up who doesn't get much playing time, simply ran through the stop
sign at third. In any case, at 9-0 the outcome was no longer in doubt.
The game finished at 10-0. Rocket completed the game himself and was
noticeably grumpy about being left in to absorb the punishment. "Is
that any way to treat your ace?" he wondered aloud at his locker after
the game. "Especially coming off an injury like this. This guy
(Dewdney), I wonder about him sometimes." There was nary a dissenting
voice in the room. Two things were established in the game: the Bucs
are officially on a roll, and Dewdney's status is even more tenuous
than ever.
Game three of the Bucs-Jays series pitted Stan Coveleski vs. Jose Rijo,
and nothing much seemed to change aside from the pitchers on the hill.
The Jays did manage to make more of a game of it, but Hornsby had four
more ribbies and in all nine Bucs found a foothold on home plate before
all was said and done. The fourth inning was the killer as five Pirates
scored, the last two via a Hornsby trey. That put the score at 7-1
Pittsburgh, and now the Toronto players were in open rebellion against
their skipper. George Bell (and his disappointing .182 average) finally
managed to find the seats for the first time of the season, as did
teammate Paul Molitor, but in the end Coveleski had won his second
straight game and Rijo had absorbed the 9-6 loss. The "Silent
Rebellion" that had been the talk of the town finally broke out in full
view after the game, "Groucho Marx" glasses and all, as Dewdney was
sacked of his position and Keith Hernandez took over the reigns of the
club as player-manager.
Game four of the series pitted undefeated "Rapid Robert" Feller versus
winless Dave Steib in Hernandez's inaugural managerial appearance. Once
again the Bucs jumped to an early lead as slumping Johnny Mize, who
came into the game batting only .234, tripled the opposite way. "The
Big Cat" then came home on a Turkey Stearnes groundball. The Jays
managed to knot the game at one when Roberto Alomar skied one into the
stands on a 1-0 Feller fastball for his fourth dinger of the year. The
Bucs quickly regained the lead in the sixth however, as the one man
wrecking crew named Rogers Hornsby doubled in "Pop" Lloyd, who had also
laced a two bagger off Steib just prior to Rajah's blast. The Bucs
tacked a pair on top of that in the next inning when catcher Gabby
Hartnett went deep with Judy Johnson aboard for his fourth homer of the
season. The game finished 6-2, with Feller getting his fourth win (to
go along with a sterling 1.61 ERA) and Steib suffered his fourth loss
despite pitching well, allowing only four hits in his seven innings of
work. The Pirates had now won the first four games of this uber-series,
and Hernandez had fared no better than Dewdney in his first outing as
player-manager. Despite going hitless, his average still stood at .400
after the game however.
The fifth game of the series followed the script of the first four,
unfortunately for the still suffering Toronto cranks. David Cone versus
Jack Morris was the match-up, and again the Bucs drew first blood. The
newly resurgent Johnny Mize went deep off Morris and later off lefty
David "The Fat Bastard" Wells as well. "The Big Cat" was now up to .267
and claimed 5 taters as his own on the season. The Jays did "hold"
Hornsby to a pair of hits and just a single ribby, but when all was
said and done the Coneheads were celebrating David's third victory in
four decisions while Jack's brigade were still searching for their
first "W" to toast as Morris absorbed his second loss. With the 7-2
loss the Jays dropped further in the standings at 4-16--and 0-2 with
Hernandez at the helm--and the Bucs soared ever higher at 17-3. Their
great start is tempered by the fact that their new division rivals, the
Chicago Cubs, were keeping pace with them at last sighting, holding a
13-3 record pending the results of their series at Wrigley versus the
struggling Reds. The two streaking teams are slated for a big six game
collision of a series after the Bucs leave Exhibition Stadium after one
more contest. The results of those tilts will certainly be interesting
to see.
