Yikes. 


Coincidentally, those were the only numbers I was able to add and subtract when I was a kid.

Good pitching, slumps and just plain poor hitters (Hedges). Also, I think the constant lineup shuffling is a detriment to consistent hitting.

I realize that emotions run high. I understand that all teams suffer injuries.



I know that Cruz isn't any Joe DiMaggio.



Would he make a difference? If so, what amount?



I dnk any championship team that hasn't had a bad stretch. This is why I don't get hung up after every inning or even every game. Besides, even with this, we've much better than we've been.



Is this a problem.....or, a true problem?



Thank God other teams are having issues of their own.



It becomes a big problem unless we throw more complete game shutouts.
