Rollie Fingers

Fingers Slips, Brewers Lose in 10th

This is the powerful force who went 5-for-5 and drove in the winning run off of Rollie Fingers.

After the Brewers’ demolition of the Blue Jays in Toronto on Opening Day, it was easy to get a bit cocky. The Brewers, after all, proved to be the superior team last season. And after one game, we were pretty certain nothing had changed.

One important detail did change, however. Rollie Fingers was beatable.

From June 2 on last year, Fingers allowed a grand total of three earned runs in 43 1/3 innings pitched for a ridiculous 0.65 ERA. If Rollie came into a game with the lead, that game was over. If he came in with a tie, he’d hold on until the Brewers scored, which rarely took long.

We’ve waited three extra days, but Opening Day is finally here. Like Brewers fans, Blue Jays fans have waited an extra series due to winter weather postponements before finally getting under way.

Let’s do this.
