6th loss in a row. Just what the offense needed, Sudden Sam McDowell. Rumor has it Sam can tie one on with the best of him, but his "heat" is not a rumor. Sam can flat out bring it as he struck out 8. Barber had one of his better games (for him). He matched McDowell in the strikeout department, but not in the runs allowed as the Pilots lost by 3. Dick Simpson had the "Golden Sombrero", which means he K'd 4 straight time in embarrassing fashion. Batting averages around here are dropping faster than Nixon's approval rating.
Bullpen Chatter: Steve "sore armed" Barber left the game in the 6th when his arm stiffened up. This was cause for immediate conversation in the pen:
Gary Bell: His (Barber's) next start will probably come next July.
O'Donoghue: Or Later
Bouton: Depending on how his arm feels.
