Jeez, comparing the right side of our infield to theirs defensively is pretty depressing. Offense ain't much better either despite Wigginton's great season so far.

[ChipTait]

Do you think Wiggy becomes our primary first baseman?

I feel sorry for Samuel. He knows how bad this team is. No one can turn the Birds around. Wait till next season.

Very nice job by Thorne there.

Anyone notice the open book (scouting) behind Samuel? They have Clay Buchholz's page open for all the world to see.

[UMDTerrapins]

It's like a whole new era.

The more things change.......

Looks like Tillman is going to implode to ring in the Samuel era.

[UMDTerrapins]

I'm wondering if somethings wrong with his pitching hand.

[ChipTait]

3 batters into the new regime, and I wouldn't blame Samuel if he tendered his resignation.

[UMDTerrapins]

Looks really comfortalbe with his curve tonight. Something is weird about his release on his fastball.

[Babypowder]

It's pretty clear that hitters pick up Tillman's curve very early. No one has even started to offer at one this inning and he has thrown some good ones.

[UMDTerrapins]

I was just thinking........a 0-2 curveball that gets by Wieters would suck. Nice block by MW.
