Zim of course was Zim, already locked in at the plate -- his dinger was where a LH pull hitter would have put it, and his RBI single was classic clutch Zman. but I wondered at two sidearm throws to first on slow rollers towards the hole... Looked natural for the way he picked up the ball while running, so I wondered if maybe he's just doing the 3/4 throw where he can set his feet? Hmmm, something to watch.<br /><br />EJax was overpowering most hitters, the double was very hard hit but no question LaRoche and maybe Morse would have gotten to it. Det was equally in control for two of his three innings but the middle one was three consecutive hard hit liners that the wind might have hung up just a bit (not to take anything from the OFs, especially Perez who made a very nice running grab on one.
