That's More Like It

Well it wasn't quite 13-2, but it was still a solid ass kicking and a good time for the offense to wake up last night.

CC wasn't great, as his 13 baserunners in 7+ innings will show, but like Phil the night before, he battled all night and made pitches when he had to to get himself out of trouble. With the way the bullpen has scuffled lately, you can't really blame Joe for sticking with CC that long last night even when it was clear he wasn't on his A-game.

The offense pounded out 15 hits last night, including a 2-4 night from Jeet, 3-5 from Swish, 2-5 with a HR from Bob Cano, and 2-4 from Frankie, who continues to produce at the plate when he is in for Jorge. And hey! Teix went 1-5 last night to finally get his batting average over half his playing weight (now at .133).

About the only thing that wasn't good last night was this image:

You never like to see your starting catcher leave with an injury, especially when he's older like Jorge. Time will tell how long that knee injury keeps Jorge out for. For now let's just move the Jesus Alert up to level Yellow.

Oh, and fuck you, Jeremy Guthrie. Get some fucking command of your shit.
