Very true Edge -we walked Drew (3rd kicker) because he's likely the best kicker in SoCal and we've joked that we'll walk him with bases loaded - Jimmy (#4) is a great kicker, but almost always a line drive kicker - so Sergio had our Outfielders come in - not only did Jimmy get all of it, but the wind was very much in favor (late in the day, right on the water, the sea breeze picks up dramatically) - tactical error on our part - we had our chances to come back but couldn't get the ball to drop - when I was walked, the kicker behind me (Cam Jones) is a high percentage 2-out kicker - bad bounce and he uncharacteristically snuffed it - I think Sergio also knows he probably shouldn't have kicked away at his 2nd at bat in the last inning - but when you're battling back and you're close, your eyes get big - i've been there -we were happy with our first day as a team, but we definitely gelled more in LSKO -
