A righty pitching and we PH Bourjos instead of Tucker.

Viz made it interesting, but got the job done.

Big win. Clinches at least a split, and with not knowing at all what to expect from Teheran, a bit of a must win.

2.5 game lead in the division, which is the biggest lead we've had all season.

Great to win today because I do not feel good about Teheran going tommorow.

Ozzies Avg. Has fell into the .240s

The fact that he's not walking any at all is what's more troubling to me. When he gets a hit, it's usually an extra base hit, but it would really help out if he would get on base a few times between them.

Teheran is so bipolar. He might give us 7 strong innings. He might get ran after 3.

At any rate, if the offense doesn't show up, it really doesn't matter how he pitches. It worked out today, but it's hard to win 1-0.

Newk's first inning walk is the only walk we allowed all game.

It seems like Newk usually has to struggle through the first and then becomes lights out. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

Remember when Mauricio Cabrera was gonna be the closer of the future?

He has a 10.12 ERA, 32 walks, 17 strikeouts and a 2.906 WHIP in high A ball this year. I didn't know he was still in the organization.

Damn...must be control. No way a guy who throws 103 consistently should have those numbers unless he cant control it.

Teheran P

Ozzie needed a day off. Maybe he'll listen to his coaches now and make the adjustments they tell him to make.

But I'd rather have Culberson play third and have Tucker play left than have FLaherty in the starting lineup.
