That’s 3 of the 5 they needed this week, and haven’t made us sweat yet. I’ll take one close game over the weekend as long as we finish the week 5-0.

 

[huskymedic]

Nice shout-out for Ryan Hyde.

Are the bats finding it or is simply the quality of pitching has drastically dropped off and now the lineup is “clicking”? As a fan, they found it.

 

[Omahabound]

Shpur may be this season’s version of Tammaro coming on late last year. Shpur continues to get better. Dalena as well.

 

[Omahabound]

I’m rooting for TC. There’s still enough of a season left for him to make an impact in determining their ceiling.
