Splash hit, on the bounce!

Give that man a firstbaseman's mitt. Ride him while he's hot.

Good to see Nate on fire again He is suddenly not useless all of a sudden! He has to keep it going though he can't just disappear for a month at a time and expect to stick around.

Belt with the bomb - finally. I dont know if he's actually turned it around, but it's good to see him contribute something, anything, on offense. if he is catching on fire things are looking good for the offense. I'm not sold yet though.

The Hurst Exponent on Belt is apparently somewhere between 0.5 and 1.0. I'd guess 0.55.

What is it about relief pitchers that prevents them from throwing strikes in situations like this??

Maybe they're working on something?

Pill would have turned the DP.

I think if it was anyone but Cain pitching tomorrow, they would stick with Hensley to finish the game.

Dogs are playing pretty well. Hard to understand it. Aside from Ethier and Kemp and AJ Ellis, their hitters are not doing much. Aside from Kershaw, the pitching is not all that great. But somehow, they keep getting it done.
