I was just glad to see the bats coming around in this one... just in time for a bit more favorable pitching matchups in the coming games. The timeliness of the hitting will come back around, it always does with this team (hot/cold/hot/cold). I have a feeling this skid ends tonight, yesterday was the breakout phase (at least 2 innings of it).

It's really unfortunate that there is no outfielder on the bench, because a pinch-runner might be nice right about now. Of course, that's only the potential tying run. Kenneth walks.
