    Regardless of what happens the rest of the year, I'm glad this guy finally got a shot to show his stuff... he could be a very good starter for us for the long-term.

    Also, he doesn't seem to have the mechanics problems of Miller, or the head-case problems of Redding. Sometimes, the best pitchers turn out to be converted outfielders who just wanted to play ball...

    Cy Backe looks like he wants to launch one, Babe Ruth style.

    I know Backe can hit... but not getting bunts down could mean bad things.

    Bunts are one of the keys to big innings... we needed one here.

    He's too busy aiming for the Crawford Boxes during BP, and knocking out Landry's signs... probably should just stick to bunting, however.

    hit and run was a bad idea i think. it made biggio feel like he had to swing i think.

    Damnit... RBI Bidge strikes again... I really think he's just a MUCH better hitter with nobody on base.

    He gets antsy when that runner goes in motion...

    Williams has looked very hittable. He's been very lucky so far.
