I'm with ya on the attitude....But hoping and faith have a lot in common when your're "hoping" for a sweep.

You're going all Harvard "Greed-head" here. ha ha ha

Hopefully in this series we won't need Beltre but they always give us trouble. And a four game series away is hard to win.

Our last series loss was against this team
We need to get after them. We should see Sonny Gray.

Im still keeping the faith! We owe them for getting swept last time and I think we were totally flat last time we played them, the series after the brawl. I think we will have a little more "fight" than the last time we faced em'. I don't think Khris Davis will hit 4 HR's and I don't think we take them for granted, as it seemed we may have last time as well.

That said, recent results say if we want to win the series, we need to lose game 1? I say sweep!

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Probably the best choice.

Nothing worked last time. So hope he keeps them off balance and limit Davis.

If i recall our offense was totally inept for at least 2 of those 3 games in that series as well.

Gray not having a good year so far and coming back from injury. Interested to see how he does. Possible trade there for some team. Guess we'll be missing Hill.

We had one blown save in the last series (Tolley) and in the third game our middle relief gave up 4 runs.

We played crappy baseball in the first game.

We made some changes since.

It is good not to be walkoff grand slammed

So, that's your story and you're sticking with it?......Should've figured. ha ha ha

Gray I think has pitched well in his last couple starts but don't hold me to it. How are we missing Hill? Is he hurt?

 

[donaldson79]

Are you guys getting, or have you gotten some heavy rain today?

I don't know as I am out of town.

I don't know, but I'm sure hoping this is good info....Man, he looks like a pretty tough guy to hit for years to me.

Hill on 15 day DL groin strain.

Man alive, we've gotten some spectacular lightening, and pretty heavy rain for about an hour to an hour 40. Still coming down pretty good too.

 

[donaldson79]

Hill on 15 day DL groin strain.

Certainly don't wish the man "poor health" but at the same time it sure isn't hurting my feelings he's not available during our visit.

Seems like a good guy too, but then again, "he's a VANDERBILT man."

Groin injury. Just saw that Mazara throw. Amazing!
