There will be days where our pitching fails us. Almost failed us in the 9th yesterday. We play great defense but we will need to score some runs against quality opponents. I still don't get why 1 game sitting out of the first 20 is a bad thing. Are we gonna crush his confidence so much that his batting average drops below .174?
I hope as much as anyone that Rowdey breaks out. But I still haven't found one person that can explain why sitting 1 game out of our first 20 games would be bad for him.
He and Gautreau may be working on some things with his swing, so reps may be crucial right now. Who knows? But the coaches have led us to a good start, have pushed the right buttons, and Rowdey has proven he deserves a long leash.....that's plenty of reasons for me.
Plus, Rowdey could run in to one today and the slump could end in a heartbeat. Why delay it?
