No no no no NO!

  • This is exactly why this team makes no sense. Shutout three of the last five games along with eighteen consecutive scoreless innings (for the bats). Then we score fifteen, eleven in the first three innings?

    Here's the perfect example of why our stats are skewed. With the fifteen runs on Friday night, over the last three games we've averaged five runs per game. Add in our sub-four team ERA and you'd think you'd have three wins, or two at worst. Nope, two losses and one blowout win. This has been discussed allot over on the message board. This is just another glaring example.

  • Lowe looked OK, he lost a bit of control in the 5th and 6th with a couple of walks, but managed to get himself out of it. The pen sucked though, Hermanson and Banks combined to allow five runs and eight of the eleven hits over the last three innings. If it's not one thing it's another.

    Who wants to bet after the fifteen run explosion, they score two runs on Saturday and lose 3-2 to another schmuck they make look like Cy Young. I'm not even close to believing in this team again.
