A lot of empty innings. Need Hatcher to get going. And need to find another bat. At this point, i'm hoping for Skinner.Quote:

As I said earlier, Hatcher should be batting 6th or 7th, not 4th. Not even really sure he needs to start against LH pitching.Quote:

We will pitch nasty with umps that don?t minimize the strike zone. Love where we are. Lots to improve but like possibilities
Our bullpen No Hit them since the 2nd
19 straight retired
Yep, long term I'm much more concerned about the offense than our pitching. As for pitching, if one guy isn't performing, like our starter tonight, we have lots of other options.
Let’s invest in Kellum Clark, let him get ABsQuote:

And I'm not talking about you. Just in general. Heck two days ago we had people that wanted Landon James to leadoff Bc he lead us in hitting.Quote:

Why is it brilliant? Barring injury purposes, why not get him in on a Sunday start where we've already won the series? We were up by 4 in the 7th when Smith had retired 7 straight.Quote:

People forget the Bianco affect when you try to look like the champs in every regular season game instead of pacing and seeing what you haveQuote:

He was probably never going to let him pitch much this weekend. Just get his feet wet, then increase it next week.Quote:
