Quick Hits

A few thoughts on the Seattle series...


These late night weeknight games completely drain me.  They seem quicker than normal games, but they're so late I'm just exhausted.  Had to actually go to bed and throw it on the radio and listen in bed last night.  It caught up to me after 3 late nights...


Was encouraged by the starting pitching this week.  Price was veru good until he hit the wall, and ERod and Porcello did their part and Pomeranz gave you 6, which is more than you would've gotten for Buchholz.  He's getting better.  Losing that Price game was very tough, since it was very winnable and we thought they had it. 


What was up with the whacky, untrue stats Lyons was spitting at us about Seattle starter Wade LeBlanc the other night?


Farrell should not have sat Benintendi last night.  I know he has all of 2 games of big league experience, but he's a better option than Brentz at this point.  He's hit LHPs well so far as a pro and last night's starter (Ariel Miranda) has been eaten alive against lefties in the minors this year, and we saw Travis Shaw go yard against him early.  It would be nice if Farrell thought outside the box maybe once in while....


Interleague play this weekend.  Goin on 20 years and I still hate it..
