[hermes]

still can't score runs

10 hits and nothing to show for it yet

[karch34]

5 quality starts and 1 win. Pitching staff has been off to a much better start than expected, but bats are terrible or at least with RISP.

[hermes]

only one lose attributable to the bullpen as well (i think), so i guess that's encouraging

i wonder if we won't be able to score any runs until these kids from the farm get called up, they're the big bats aren't they?

[karch34]

I think you lit a fire under them Hermes. Like them giving Kalish a little more playing time. I think him and Olt are still getting healthy, but Kalish has some fire to him.

Trade Veras now. Walks four of five batters with a 7 run lead?
