Living is Easy with Eyes Closed
Wanted to post about tonight's game and did not see a May thread, so I started one. Hope that is OK. We scored in the top of the 9th again which kept Putz from a save opportunity. Even though he is my closer in fantasy baseball, I will take those large leagues heading into the bottom of the 9th all year long.
After tonight's game we are 2 games over 500 and 4 behind the Doyers. It is a very long season and it should be exciting especially between us, the Giants and the Doyers. And you never know who will sneak up on you.
Corbin looked OK his first start, not bad, not great. It will be interesting to see how he does this month. Bauer and Skaggs are chomping at the bit to get up here but the way our pitching staff is going, well, it is a good problem.
CY had an amazing start but it looks more and more like he will be out more than 3-4 weeks. Kubel has played very well, Parra is coming around and looking more like the Parra we love and Upton struggled with the bat last month, but I believe he will come around. I know he is a great talent, but tonight he made another boneheaded play when he admired his shot off the wall in right center and then got thrown out at 2nd. He would have been there easily if he took off running and forgot about admiring his handy work. That crap just drives me crazy. I am glad we have Gibson because I think he will be able to get through to Justin and get the most out of him.
We have a lot going on in the infield but I expect Davidson to be called up sooner than I originally thought.
All in all, I really like what I see in the ball club both with the players and the coaches. Here's to a great May! GO
