Mixed emotions about this offense. For a team that scored 22 runs the batting line is uninspiring and that makes 2 series in a row. The 9 and 8 run games were drven largely by the 8 and 7 Atlanta walks. The series RISP of .250 is under par for the season and we only had 3 HR's. But we did walk and steal 8 bags. Clawed our way into scoring and that counts too. To be continued.
Don't be fooled by the bullpen line in here. They blew a save before getting a lead in game 1 then blew 2 leads in game 3 to lose us this series. They might have been overworked due to an inept starting staff that failed get through 5 innings in 3 of 4 but when you have to get 2-3-4 leads to win games it's too much to ask of an offense. This is an established pattern no matter how over worked. Can't wait to see Reed up and I think Lamb and Disco will get better as innings accumulate. can't happen fast enough. We get Stephenson up and then Iglesias, Lorenzen, and Straily back to the bullpen interested to see how that works. To be continued again!
