I'm as frustrated as the next guy about these last two series, but, considering our lack of depth on the mound, we are still overperforming for the year. It's no shocker that our pitching corps is beginning to fade toward the end here. It's been a good year compared to what could have been with all the injuries and players leaving early. I think we have a lot to look forward to in 2018 (assuming the construction crews let us in the stadium).
Let me just say
- Thread starter EngDawg
- Start date
If Rigby and Hughes return and are anything like they were previously, you'd have to like how things start to shape up:
Fri - Pilkington
Sat - McQuery
Sun - TBD
Bullpen:
Self
Rigby
Hughes
Gordon

It is really easy to get caught up in the frustration with recent play and lack of pitching and timely hitting.
Put me in your crowd of looking forward to what we can do next year with ANY depth and still be happy with the sum of our work this season.
Could be much. much worse.

Yea i agree. I felt like this season was awash and chalked it up as a no stress year. So ive enjoyed the ups and ive ignored the downs. Kinda looking forwatd to postseason. I think we need to expend as little energy ss possible in hoover and get ready for our 2seed. I dont think we can move up or down a seed regardless. So get rested and who knows....maybe well catch postseason fire.
Good way to look at it. Back in February I was bummed that we wouldn't have much to cheer for in baseball this year, but this team has been really fun to watch.
Rooker alone has been very entertaining this spring, and when it comes down to it that's all this is. Entertainment.
Are you not entertained?!?!
Personally, I've had a great time watching Cannizzaro pull all this together and I'm really excited to see his future teams.

As bad as the last couple weeks have been, if this season happened in a different order (that is, we dropped a few series earlier in the year and finished strong), we'd be saying much different things about the team.
I thought Ford looked pretty good yesterday too. I know it was mop-up duty, but he faced the top of their lineup. Good to see, IMO.
Ford could be key in the postseason. If we could get a couple of 3-4 inning outings from him that would really help. Wonder what his max innings would be at this point.

He's been successful his last 2 outings, but he scares me. He was throwing 84-87 Tuesday night
Ford is just now at 18 months post-op. I don't care what the idiots say, you can't judge him at all until this current point in time. He's already 3 steps past where he was in February.
That's what a 2/3 seed type regional team is supposed to do, you argumentative prick.
