    Looking at the recent outings from these three starters our team is going to have to score a lot of runs and have a lot of relievers ready to go in the bullpen. Baseball is a funny game. Here's to hoping something will click for all three of them and we sweep the Braves.

    I'm not saying the 3 are future cy young winners, but I think people are grossly overreacting to how terrible these pitchers are because their awful outings all came at the same time and very early in the season.

    Having said that, this Braves lineup is a monster, regardless of who was pitching this was likely gonna be a series where our offense needs to put in some work.

    I like the optimism. I say 2 out of 3. Which would be fine with me. Let's make the sign of the cross together now, brother Stephen.

    Spencer "spaghetti" Arrighetti looked decent until he's not against the royals.

    i hope he doesn't change up his approach against the braves because i don't think the hits by the royals had exit velo above 95mph.

    Last year we had 2 maldy’s in the lineup almost every night.

    no reason we can’t score more this year.

    Better pitching is what we need.

    I completely forgot Terry Pendleton existed. I still don't remember much about him other than he played 3B and he was annoying (though I can't remember specific moments on why he is annoying).

    He was gifted a Gold Glove at the expense of Caminiti one season because he had a high batting average...the notion he was a better defensive 3B than Ken Caminiti was ridiculous. He should wake up and apologize for that every morning.
