it is a pitchers year and we have the best starters ERA and second best BP ERA and best BP in my view because they are used the most and in tight games more than any other team and we are deep in the BP.

we have started 11 and burnett, wandy, liriano, locke, cole, morton, gomez, cumpton, and even irwin after his nervous first inning have all done very well.
we have great re-enforcements in AAA/AA/A in taillon, stolmy, kingham, heredia, glasnow, holmes, sadler, rodrigez, and even mcP and kjohnson.

they just took the highest scoring and hitting team in the NL and held them to 3 runs in 3+ games. the best team with RISP and shut them down.

unbelievable.

i just hope burnett stops flirting with disaster with his walks, hbp, high pitch count early in the game. we really need him to settle in as a big time ace fro the stretch run, giving us burnett, liriano, and locke in a series to get by with 3 guys if we have to.

given our depth, we might be one team that a WC play-in game might not disrupt, unless it is a 15 inning extravaganza.

Look at last night for a perfect example...

Rookie comes up.. pitches a gem for us against the Cards in a crucial spot in the season... Saves the bullpen... 7 shutout innings..

They write books about stuff like that guys.

What does that even mean.. .a one and done team...

They have to make the post season first and that in itself means they win more games than they lose... which means unlike the last 2 seasons there will be no late season drop off.

so getting to the post season is massive for this franchise... It means more fans, more revenues, more games televised... It means more players will see this franchise as a winner and want to play here.

Can't you see any of that?

I have no crystal ball as to how many post season games the bucs might win... but getting there means they have already won so much!
