Cumbest in a left field.

Getting as many right handed batters as we can in lineup. Wind is blowing hard out to left.

What is going on with Bednar? If he doesn’t get healthy fast and Cerantola has his usual control struggles, our weekend rotation suddenly becomes very hittable

Geez, Fristoe is pitching a HR derby right now

Wind was blowing hard to left, I think even I could have hit one out in that Jetstream.

It’s not a crick in the neck, but it’s also not one of the dreaded things that sideline pitchers for a while. He’s got some discomfort and they’re taking it easy getting him back, is what I’ve been told.

Wind blowing out to left, I wondered if we should have put in the left handed

batters when Tulane switched to a right handed pitcher. Maybe the right on right thing is worse statistically than taking advantage of the wind, I don't know. One of our lefties hit a long HR to right against the wind, so that worked out.

I understand switching pitchers to take advantage of the left on left/right on right thing at critical times and I understand about starting opposite hitters to reduce that advantage, but I don't know the stats for putting in opposite pinch hitters, especially if the one taken out is hitting well. It backfired on us yesterday as we put in a lefty pinch hitter to go against their right handed pitcher and then Tulane put in a left handed pitcher to pitch to him. Don't remember how that hitter did.

Either way, I of course trust the coaches more than what I think.
