Craig/Kelly/Miller clique hurting the team? Addition by subtraction? You almost wonder if there was more to the Miller trade than needing to replace Taveras when we already have Grichuk and Piscotty.

Our former scrub bullpen guys just keep throwing up .000 ERA innings.

Mark Ellis is the **** out of there, no more jerking around more talented younger players for Matheny guys, in part due to transactions (minus Kelly, minus Craig), in part due to tragedy removing alternatives. Reynolds is a legitimate RH bench bat that I've clamored for for years. The defense is legitimately good, and excellent when Bourjos plays. |

Yeah, Heyward is not a leader. Reynolds doesn't have resume to lead this locker room. Has to be someone they lost and not someone that was added.

Maybe, but the best start since the 40's can't be luck. There is something going on here with this team. The team chemistry is flowing. Even Matheny has made few bonehead bullpen decisions this year.

Lose Waino, Miller and OT and still have the best record in baseball after 25 games? Coming back from the dead and winning?

It can be both. The team can be both good and lucky. They certainly have drawn a favorable schedule, but they've also maximized those abilities. Also, their offense looks better for the most part. Wong's development has helped, as have hot starts from Holliday and Carpenter, who, when stacked on top of each other, create a lot of run-scoring opportunities.

Maness just gave up two lined rockets and a monster HR.
That was lucky. |

Djln and I talked about it, and I dunno if he'll ever get it, but if Heyward turns things around and Molina ever gets going, the offense becomes pretty scary. And I'm about ready to declare Wong the leadoff man |

Maness is a lucky pitcher and always will be. We depend on him, we arr lucky to win.

Hey Hamas you see the 538 article on ESPN? Basically saying Molina is all washed up.

Need some good innings from Lyons tomorrow. This bullpen drastically deserves some rest.
At this point I couldn't blame them if they did blow a game. They have been terrific. |
