1. Great Comeback win over the BearSharks. We need to make it really count today. As many have said, often times a game like this can get a team going. We need it to jumpstart us in a bad way.
2. Another year of maturity and experience, plus a Spring Practice to work on fundamentals, and everybody sees why the hype on Prescott is starting to mount. He really looks good throwing the football. And we already knew he could run it and lead the team. I cant wait for this season to start.
3. Fitts threw well yesterday and also had the benefit of being at home. I thought Butch pulled him at the right time.
4. Lindgren threw well again. We should have never been in that cluster**** that allowed them to score 2 runs to tie it. Pitching did its job yesterday.
5. Yesterday is a prime example of why you cant play Detz at 3rd base. It doesnt show up in the box score- but if you watch it- it's easy to see. The groundball to him in the 5th started the Rebel rally. Detz comes across and fields it, but cant get to his feet to make a throw. So it goes as a hit. If Britton is playing 3rd, we have a shot at a double play- but at the very least we throw the guy out at 1st- leaving the Rebels with a man on 2nd and two outs. Instead Detz cant make a play, so it's 1st and 2nd- 1 out and the Rebs end up scoring 2 runs to tie. It's those little things that cost us with Detz in the game. Not to mention he later dropped a throw from the catcher on a steal because he is too slow to get to the bag on time- and that cost us another run. Once aGAIN, it doesnt go down as an error on Detz- but it's a play that costs us a run with him in the game. His .217 batting average is not worth what Britton gives us- not even close. As bad as Britton's bat has been- he's only 49 points behind Detz and Britton's OBP is higher
6. Humphreys had a couple of good swings yesterday against the Lefty but was overmatched vs the Righty. It's easy to see why Cohen hasnt been playing him. He should get some AB's vs Lefty's down the stretch- he can handle the breaking ball coming at him somewhat- but as far as a RH'ed slider- he might as well have a sock puppet in his hands. He does have 9 K's in 32 overall AB's- thats pretty high.
7. Armstrong and Pirtle are far and away the 2 best hitters we have. They should be 2-3 in the line-up. Bat Collins 4th and Rea 5th. And Britton 9th. After that? Wtf knows.
8. I'd let Woody roll today but since Cohen gonna Cohen I expect Bracewell to start then Woody to relieve. Both bullpens got worked some yesterday, so both teams need their starters to get into the 5th today. We need innings from our starter and it needs to be quality innings.
9. Not worried about Holder. He never needs to go more than 2 innings anyway.
10. **** you BearSharks. Let's get Game 3 and win this damn series like we are supposed to.
