I know everyone expects a big 100+win season, and a long(er) playoff run from this bunch , but just not sure that some of the pieces are like fine porcelain---pretty to look at in the glass front cabinet, but very fragile
Gee, I thought Kelly was a 100mph FB pitcher, not junk throwing jerk. Cora sees enough and gets Kimbrel in for a 4 outer. Talk about playing to a guys strengths. Nice work for the third game in a row Kelly. The good thing about 2 out walks is that they don't fly over the wall
Looked it up: Pomeranz was the LP , giving up 5 runs in 2.2 innings, on 4 hits and 2 walks. Drew may need another quickie down there before going on the 60 day DL with brain cramps.
I was about to say that Rick's pitches in the 5th were getting high in the zone, but he beat me to it by serving up a meatball. P.S. He is getting no support in terms of runs from any of his hitters.
Benintendi is, in fact , trending into slump territory. Last 7 days , he is hitting .208, plus 0-2 with 2 K's tonight. That is different than a career decline but it is a slump, which he is prone to do after a strong run.
