Keep Salvino in the lineup!

That thing was GONE.

Improving our opinion of Deacs named Mitch!

Top to bottom, this team hits better than last year.

The highs are high but the lows are lower. Much less consistent top to bottom of the order at the moment.

Are we sure that’s true?

That description matches team 109 more to me. Bombs or bust.

Solid inning from Falco. Good ending.

Great win.

Probably the most underrated stat from tonight is that we issued only 3 BBs (and only 2 HBPs). Games become much more winnable when you're not handing out free rides to first.

Wow that was impressive of Hartle to grind out 6 innings in a bad start.

Our offense has looked good recently and it’s nice to see us building up some depth. That can pay dividends down the line when fully healthy.

Gunther has looked great at times. If our pitching and defense can become consistently solid this team has tons of potential. I think if we can get there, having an offense that is aggressive on the bases and able to manufacture runs through team baseball can be very effective in tight games outside of our ballpark (hopefully in Omaha). If Salvino can be a guy out of nowhere as well that would be awesome.

No social media posts for 2 weeks since we didn’t run rule them though.

Just keep getting better. MY DEACS

Hagen Smith is electric. Chase Burns vs Hagen Smith is a matchup I need to see somehow this season.

True. I just feel like 7-9 is not nearly as threatening as last year.

True. I just feel like 6-9 is not nearly as threatening as last year.

Houston, Lee, Stello/Cecere were not great most of last season.

Definitely agree on Houston. Maybe I have rose-colored glasses on the others.

Fun game for there a bit late but glad I made it. Gutsy for Hartle. Way different team than we thought we’d see. Let’s just win some games.

I probably had 20 posts on the last thread about that part of the order being a black hole and leaving runners stranded.

TOO MANY THREADS! We stayed here tonight and won!

What's that fifa song that Cam Nelson changed his walkup to?

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Little things today. King not taking a strike out 0-2 led to a big inning. Put the game away.
