Milwaukee Brewers’ Cesar Izturis vows to get better to overcome errors – MLB News
The Milwaukee Brewers’ shortstop Cesar Izturis vowed on Wednesday, March 7, that his performance will get better in the days to come. He was responding to the questions raised over the performance in the Cactus League so far.
The veteran shortstop does not appear to be in good form these days as he readies himself for the new season. What compounds the problem is the fact that he has three errors in as many games lately.
Add to it the fact that there were two errors in the game that saw the Milwaukee Brewers get on the Oakland Athletics. In a game that was supposedly be tilting in Brewers’ favour as far as the batting and pitching are concerned, the Athletics stole the show.
Tuesday’s game against the Oakland Athletics resulted in the Brewers’ 6-0 defeat. Much to the chagrin of the veteran shortstop, he gave up two errors which resulted in no less than four earned runs, paving the way for the Athletics’ decisive victory.
However, on Wednesday, he sounded determined to compensate for whatever has gone wrong so far. "From now on, it's going to be better," Izturis said. "Hopefully, all the errors stay here instead of going to Milwaukee."
The team manager Ron Roenicke, on the other hand, does not seem very satisfied with the performance either. The non-roster invitee Izturis, it goes without saying, will be looking to work hard to put in place a lot to merit inclusion in the team once the
seasons gets going.
Roenicke’s perspective in this regard was punctuated by subtlety whereby he expressed his shock over the shortstop’s performance. "As good as he is defensively, I'm sure he's a little shocked at him not playing well," Roenicke said.
At a time when the Milwaukee Brewers are bracing for the bigger challenges ahead, the players like Izturis’ performance holds key in determining how the tide will turn at the end. It is precisely for this reason that Izturis, like he stated, has to get better
so as to add to the strength of the team and be a constant utility, instead of becoming a virtual liability.
