Tiger-Cats manager Jon Brams:
While last night's game was improbable, this one made that one look semi-normal. First, the wind was blowing out. Morgan's moonshot leading off the bottom of the 1st set the tone. 6 more guys would drop bombs. We had more hits -21 - and gave up more hits - 16 - than in any other game so far. Matlack wasn't himself at all. He had terrible stuff and we pounded him, but he somehow found himself in position to get a win before we managed to tie it with 4 straight hits in the 8th.
Then I got thrown out of the game when Milbourne was called out on a play at the plate that would have ended it in the 11th. An atrocious call IMO, Sam Martin! Then I compounded that screw-up by telling my bench coach he could move Bull to first, put Wynn into left, and have Milbourne be the DH to start the 12th. Hello - the DH rule doesn't allow that - Martin had that right. So Milbourne ended up playing 1st, a position, he's never played in his life. Fortunately, he didn't need to do anything out there, and then Willie and Joe bailed me/us out, with Joe's game-winning single his 5th hit (!) of the night. And all that happened in a shade over 3 hours!
