    Yohan Ramirez just got the Yankees out in the 11th, if only we had a guy like him!

    I'll take it.  Well Yohan Ramirez still helped us.

    It has absolutely been a complaint. I would say bullpen management is the most common criticism of Hyde. 

    Elias should get Hyde better bullpen pieces to help Hyde's strategy.

    We have very few wins like that.

    I think the run scoring environment is down in baseball and people just haven't adjusted for that.   We lead the majors at a bit over 5 runs per game, and there are only 2 or 3 teams that are scoring that much.   Scoring is down.

    So a night like tonight, where we have 4 runs in 6 innings, seems like we aren't hitting well.   But it is actually quite good.

    Add that to the general game thread mentality that every time we got a couple innings without scoring it's "sleepwalking", and selective memory, and people start to believe our offense isn't very good.

    We have 4 runs in 6 innings and the majority of the comments on our offense have been negative.  A guy who started year as our #5 starter and has allowed 2 runs in 5 innings and is still pitching in the 6th .... yet most of the comments here about his pitching are negative.

    In a recent game thread someone posted that they could barely stand to watch our games because of our scoring droughts and other perceived flaws,   And I think we had won 7 of 8 games at the time!!!!!   

    The gap between perception and reality in the game thread is enormous.

    We need our pitching to be able to win when we score 4 runs.

    If they weren't leading the league in scoring things would really be bad.

    When we win games 10-2 and 11-1 it adds up, losing games 3 or more scoring 2 or less is more losses and runs seem higher when we win big in 1 game.

    Ray DF'd Harold Ramirez, is there any interest? He is hitting .268 and only 29 years old. Only has 1 Homer. He'll probably be claimed before we have a chance.
