17-15
Javier looks to continue his dominance at MMP. He has a clean 0.00 ERA at home this year. On the road this year it’s 5.19 for comparison.

I want to see the offense stay hot consistently. Great to see Tucker have a better day.

Being able to rest the bullpen last night was what we needed. Good to see so many guys swinging the bat well. We will see another lefty today so I expect the same lineup. Since Maldonado is swinging much better, that is OK for now. He just doesn't need to forget Castro is available.

I think Kent Emanuel is their innings eater guy. He has decent stuff, though. They need to avoid the overuse of mediocre Raley.

For some reason, Dusty likes to use him in pressure situations which I don't understand. I also don't understand brining Abreu in the game with runners on base and risk his control being off. |

Again, don't expect Emanuel to be a legitimate solution in pressure situations. I hope so, but nothing in his history says he'll be that guy.
On another note, why didn't Urquidy pitch the 8th?

I thought he would pitch the 8th. I can't imagine taking him out unless he told Dusty he was tiring. Dusty probably took him because we had a good lead and he wanted to "rest" him. Who knows why Dusty does anything? I don't think he knows. |

Giving Brantley a day off with another lefty going isn't a bad idea. |

Javier has been crappy since Saint started beating the drum for a new contract.

This got ugly quick. Hope the bats warm up.

I just want to see Tucker get a hit when challenged. That’s all.

Got two back and had a chance to get more. Carlos hammered the ball with nothing to show for it. The more I see of Straw, the more I am convinced we'd be a hell of a lot better off with Marisnick. Straw ain't worth a shit with a bat in his hands.

Straw ain't worth a shit with a bat in his hands. Marisnick would’ve struck out. We need higher aspirations. |

Yordan is the real deal. I hope he can stay healthy.

I don't have a good feeling about the bullpen today.

Way to take three straight strikes, Myles.

I know he's young, but, Leon would have to be better than this. If nothing else, play McCormick. The truth is we are stuck with Straw to replace Springer because Click didn't do a damn thing to sign the outfielder we needed.. |

I don't have a good feeling about the bullpen today. Help could be on the way soon. Paredes is making his second appearance for Corpus tonight. So far he has pitched 2 innings, facing the minimum 6 batters. Struck out 5 and got the other one on a pop up. |

I don’t love Raley in this situation to keep it a 1 run game.
