    I can't remember a run of ground balls being fielder's choices rather than GIDPs like theres been over the last two weeks.

    Glad for the W, but that was way more difficult than it should have been.

    At least Giles threw so many pitches that we won't have to see him again tomorrow lol.

    Wow. If Giles had blown that 4 run lead how demoralizing would that have been? Thank goodness his slider is nasty. He couldn't hit the back of a school bus with his heat.

    I actually wanted them to win tonight to cool off the angels....but I suppose it doesn't matter this early.

    man, it was annoyingly cold for an April game. Enjoyed it though. Really empty for a "good" team with a good outlook for the season in game 2 of their home schedule.

    You seen Sam Dyson at all this season? Let's all just relax for now. Got 150+ to go.

    But if it ever got to the point where we had to make a change, I sure wouldn't mind seeing Devenski.

    Devenski is going to get consideration for sure.

    We already saw him be the choice in the 9th on Sunday in a tie game.

    Giles hasn't actually had a save opportunity since game 2. Needs more of those types of opportunities (with success or failure) before thinking about change.

    I've seen a lot of closers, not just Giles, come into non save situations and struggle. It's stupid, a 4 or 5 run lead is no different than a 2 or 3 run lead, but it does seem to be a thing.

    As for the game, hopefully getting a few to drop will get Tuve, Bregman, and Gurriel going. Gurriel in particular was making some really good contact last night, which he hasn't been doing.

    5-4 now, that's a 90 win pace. Of course that's a stupid extrapolation to make, but it just goes to show how overly magnified results this early can be.

    What do SF, STL, Atlanta, Seattle, KC and Toronto all have in common?
