Wisconsin Timber Rattlers' hitting binge interrupted in defeat
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers' sizzling offense had just scratched out a meager three hits, yet the scene playing out in the team's indoor batting cage afterward didn't surprise manager Jeff Isom.
There was center fielder D'Vontrey Richardson cracking liners off the tee. And there was third baseman Pete Fatse going over pitches and plate approaches with hitting coach Matt Erickson before taking a few cuts.
The Rattlers' bats were finally cooled in a 7-2 Midwest League loss to Beloit on Friday at Time Warner Cable Field at Fox Cities Stadium. So it was time to get back at it and get things right again.
"This left a bad taste in their mouth today, with the way we got three hits tonight," Isom said. "The guys know they're better than that. … We weren't happy with the results, and this team is going to work, there's no question about that.
I was worried about using a word like 'stuff' in the title of this post. Then, I saw this and I didn't feel so bad.
Beloit 7, Wisconsin 2 -- and other stuff
Part of that stuff is, um, stuff on Eric Arnett.
