vs. D-RAYS, 7/31

[Philip]

I don’t think this is that bad a team. If the guys could be consistent and we could get rid of Davis and a few other guys, we could be pretty ok.

 

hows THAT for an endorsement?

Not really. Couldn’t catch up to 91. Then watched 2 meatballs down the pipe. 

Strike one was a decent pitch to hit. Strike 3 was... Not.

Well it’s Givens.

It’s a broken record, but Davis kills this team. I bet anyone else in that spot would’ve at least put the darn ball in play.

[SteveA]

Would have been nice to get more but at least we have the pen a bit of a cushion.

[eddie83]

Missed that strike.

I don't think we have an "addition by subtraction" situation going on here, unfortunately. Other than Davis.

[Philip]

So Givens is going to try for a 2-inning save? Or Hyde is going to use Sulser again?

Going to disagree on that if you're referring to strike 3... That's a pitcher's pitch if I've ever seen one. Best-case is you fight that pitch off.

[eddie83]

Here we go. 

[scOtt]

Givens missed bad on 3-2.

I think we are a pitcher or two shy of being "not that bad".  But I see some positives too.

May be best thing for him to go right back in. Hope we can get thru this first.

I think they said Phillips was also up?
