    Mixed bag on the outing. Probably should be shelled for 5 runs. Let's see if Arrighetti can avoid getting blown up in the next 2 innings.

    Cam Smith always behind in the count.

    Takes strike 3.

    His last homer June 28th.

    Problem is the last recollection of Yordan was that he was pathetic.

    I think I'd be much more hopeful if he had killed it before the injury.

    How often does that happen. 2 near home run distance foul balls then a homer, consecutively.

    if you expect cam to hit a homerun, you're gonna have a bad time.

    at this stage of his career, he's not a homerun hitter.

    I call him Dioxide Cam because he's always 0-2.

    pretty often i'm sure.

    if a batter keep fouling off pitches by getting good contact, it just means his time is slightly off but see the ball well.

    keep fouling and eventually the batter will connect.

    Our offense has generally been **** all year TBF.

    We just had outrageously good pitching plastering it over.

    This team looks so sorry, dead and pathetic at this point. Whatever players are coming back it doesn't look like it will ****ing matter.

    I think the Parades trade hurt us big time. The team offensive numbers have plummeted after he left. He was only who made opposing pitchers work and drove up their pitch counts on a consistent basis. I can't see this team making any noise this season unfortunately.
