After a pretty crappy week, that was a pretty good win. Polanco crushed a few, the pen fared well, Cervelli was involved in a couple zany calls behind the plate, and Nova leaked a little oil late but did ok overall. Keep the wheel spinning.

Good win.
If we can finish 9-0 heading into the All-Star break (yeah, right) that will make us 49-48 and I'll feel pretty good about this team again.
Point is, we need to win a LOT of games in a row to begin making up for the embarrassing 14-31 stretch that we just lived through.

Let's just hope we're done living through it. Playing Freese and Moroff helps.

Tuned into the Nats broadcast in the 9th inning. One of their broadcasters said the fans are going crazy to which the other broadcaster replied “only if you are in a library”
I had to laugh at that one!

We're going to win 2 in a row
I have not watched recently. Is this just another hot streak or has something finally changed mechanically? Is it the change he made in his placement in the box? I really want to be wrong about Polanco, this team needs him to hit.

Don't know. I don't personally believe backing away from the plate is what is making him hit. He's been hotter than this before and been in the league a long while now, so pitchers have known his book for years. He's a feared hitter when he's like this. So was Pedro when he was streaking.
He's hot. He needs to play everyday. Every SINGLE day and maximize this streak for as long as it lasts. Hopefully when this does stop, he can get back on it in a week or two instead of in 1.5 months!

Unfortunatley that's not the way the Pirates operate. The need for REST trumps any trival on-the-field matters, such as being red-hot, and needing to win.
Polanco is probably scheduled for a day off tomorrow. He will need to get plenty of rest so that he'll be fully refreshed for next week when he gets 4 days off.
