I feel bad for EOF

this is why ERA is stupid. He looked dynamite. So did Green. So did Bedard. I love our pitching right now.

Our five man bench is unnecessary.

Our 11 man pitching staff is not enough.

I'd be encouraged by Wilkerson's two walks

but considering Kenji has two of his own, I think it's better to just leave it alone and not pay attention.

Why the fuck was Vidro going to run then?

Fuck this 5 man bench. I may be a complete baseball novice from a country that mistrusts the game, but even I can realise that Vidro is a fat fuck who can't run quickly compared to the guys on the bench who are blocking Dickey.

There was one pitch in the first AB I think that looked like a slider.
