Anything less than 2/3 would be a major disappointment

Suddenly Granderson, Pearce and Grichuk injured and we're into outfielders 6-10 on the depth chart.

Why was Smith Jr up for only one game? He hit two doubles, too.

I'm only following the box score at the moment - Is Grandy injured? :(

How does Rob Refsnyder keep getting big league jobs?

Luis Santos sucked the life out of this team like LeBron did to the Raptors.

Relying on the likes of Jake Petricka is what we were hoping to avoid this year. Hopefully it's just for today.

Yeah, we just desperately needed expendable arms, because our bullpen is our saving grace at the moment; can't really afford to burn them out. Just a brutal run of games; by the end of the weekend, we'll have played 21 games in 20 days, with only one day off. Only saving grace is that the travel went no further west than Minnesota.
