    If Paulino somehow manages to get out of this inning w/out giving up any more runs, I'll force myself to stay optimistic.

    Okay... 4 straight solo HRs, starting with Paulino, assuming he bats.

    How's that for optimism?

    would've helped a lot to put up a run or 2 in that inning... now it's up to the middle/bottom of our order to cut into this lead.

    Wow, Pence had that in his glove.

    and another HR... Paulino now with 12 HRs allowed in 54.1 IP.

    What is Paulino's issue? Lack of movement, lack of command, lack of a good variety of pitches?

    With his height and athleticism, you think he'd be an asset on those shots that are headed barely over the fence.

    He's never seemed to be very good at reading/handling those. His horizontal reads/field coverage are above average but he's never been great at making vertical reads/runs. I think that is part of why he struggles and looks sketchy making those plays.

    We got pretty lucky in the top of the 1st when Dunn missed 2nd so maybe it's only right that we got crushed today.
