First pitch to laRocje a curve over the outhalf strike. then a slider a foot outside swing, then a slider a foot outside a ball, then a curve ball right over the middle and he just stares at it. We are willing to sing at one a footoutside, but not one right over the middle. This team would be good if they had a coach who taught the strike zone.

That means its been more than seven days since he pitched ... plus the time off. <br /><br />Other than that ... Ejax doesn't look as "into it" as he was at the beginning of the season. Loss of focus. His arm is fine. Is he starting to behave like its a 1 year rental only? Tough to say ... have to see if he gets back into the rhythm of things as the 2nd half continues.<br /><br />Detwiler is definitely into it as are the top 3 starters.

Then there is Espi sometimes, Harper on a downslide, ALR on a downslide, Lombo on a downslide, Flores stuck in the basement, Tyler Moore sometimes but a problem finding playing time. So really only three of four guys carrying the load for now, not enough.

OF course it helps that he swung at two early in the count that were high. I can't figure how a catcher can have such poor bat management.

Story of their lives...Thanks, mick--long time ago.<br /><br />Story of their lives against the Fish, wasted opportunities, bad luck, whatever. Try to look at the bright side. They are doing better against them. overall, than last year. The next seven games at home are the most important of the season to date. It's still not 2005 if they falter now, and it's very hard to stay in first almost the entire season, so some back and forth is to be expected. But I'm hoping for a strong series against the Mets, though they may play like a desperate team, and the Nats always seem confident against the Braves these days. So don't let a loss tonight, if it happens, get you down.Nattering Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209095318337753164noreply@blogger.com
