Nice two innings by Hatcher. Found his role. Hopefully there will be plenty of games with big leads to use him in.
Mehcarthy with his one good start of the year. Time to suck, get injured and become a full time comedian on twitter and get 10 mil for doing so for another year.
The pitching is great. As it is right now Maeda was the worst of the 4 full time main starters first run. If Ryu can match what MacCarthy has done which is reach a full game (6 innings) and give up 2 or 3 runs at most so the offense can have a fighting chance then Maeda drops to 5th. And Wood is breathing down his neck. Then Urias is ready too. Our hitting has been great where it is expected to be great. But vs lefties we need to do better. Ironically our best hitter is Puig with his super start, but against lefties he is hitless. Kike is also here mostly to hit lefties and he is hitless there too. But he had that one big hit. The new guy Guttierrez has been sorta alright so far vs lefties with one hit in short action. Logan has been great vs the left, our best hitter and probably should be hitting second vs lefties. Too bad we dont have a true leadoff hitter and we need to use Logan there. Toles is sucking right now and is in danger of losing his job to Ethier soon. So is Van Slyke suckin too... but what else is new. He needs to be upgraded next. Old Utley is kinda superfluous now that we have prime Logan who is a young poor mans prime Utley. Joc and Grandal have been great. They are our bash brothers. Big neanderthals carrying clubs and hitting balls. Oh and getting on base too.
too early to praise or write anyone off yet richard pitched the game of his life the other night so i give him credit wouldn't read too much into ryu tomorrow considering its at that shithole coors good start overall albeit against the hapless padres mehcarthy looked great today and puig was dialed in hoping our pen doesn't get overworked
We all got caught up in the opening day/series hype to varying degrees, but yeah, it's the pAAAdres. ROX and Cubbies on deck, legitimate comp
sucks too because the pen will likely be gassed heading to chicago but that's okay... let those yahoos get some early season unwarranted confidence that means nothing could let us breeze past them in the post when they least expect it
