that the Big Unit gets mad when guys bunt off him. My thought is, SFW? Why is bunting off you a reason to get pissed?

how can it be a quality start

IF HE GIVES UP THE GAMEWINNING HOMERUN???

I have no issue with Harden, if he can stay healthy, which is something I hope for, but do not expect.

But he does not walk on water, and he’s not the best pitcher in baseball. The best starting pitchers in baseball go deeper in the games they start.

A quality start is considered at least 6 innings of 3 runs or less

I could see it happening if Lou can’t decide what position player goes when Sori comes back. That way he doesn’t have to decide until Sunday.

Offense is devolving to the feast or famine offense of the past

We’ve got to get back to the approach of earlier in the season. It’s not just being patient and taking the walk. It’s also doing the little things like poking the ball the other way, puting on the hit and run, etc.

Right now we are incapable of manufacturing a run. That is doomsday recipe for the postseason when you typically face exceptional pitching.
