Infield hit. Steal 2nd. Groundout to 2nd to advance the runner to 3rd. Squeeze play to get the runner home.

and our offense becomes about as bad as humanly possible.

How not good?

Shields and Kaz are good starters. They have some good young hitters, and Percy has turned the bullpen around. They’re a good team. Not as good as we are (or should be) but still good.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on May 10, 2008 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

They have good players

but they’re not yet a “good team.” 2/5ths of a rotation, and a mediocre bullpen mixed with some lineup holes. They’ll finish the season at or under .500, which is an improvement for them, but not yet good…not to say they won’t be soon, of course.

by Caseys Kiss of Death on May 10, 2008 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

But I should also clarify

that I don’t think you and I are really disagreeing on anything at all here, besides the rather subjective word “good.” We both recognize that TB is a rapidly improving, young team who is getting better by the day/week/month/season, but whom we should have nonetheless should have been able to dispatch of twice in three days.
