How about some offense from someone not wearing #7?

I think it's by design.
Watch his arm angle - at times I think he's flattening it a little but on purpose; making it into more of a slurve. When he wants it, he gets on top of it and is driving it down. But several times you see him drop down just a little bit and put more lateral movement on it. Adam's quickly developing into a crafty RHer out there. The stuff he does with his delivery, the way he'll pitch backwards from time to time; he does the kind of things you attribute to slop-tossing lefties only he does it with filthy breaking stuff, a nice cutter and 94 mph heat. There's a reason this guy's going to get CY votes for the next 5 years. He knows what he's doing out there.

Kozma needs to work counts like Waino and take your seat or swing when you have two strikes only.

Still not sure what Robinson is doing as the 2 hitter in this lineup.

The real interesting decision in the next inning or two will be whether Farrell pulls Lester early for a pinch hitter. Probably depends whether somebody is on base in front of him.

The idea was to move Beltran down so his hits would drive in runs. Nothing to do with Robinson.

We !@#$ed around with Lester for too long; he's dialed in now. He was not sharp at all early in this game and we let him off the hook. Now we're going to have to get to someone else.

Hung that one at a terrible time, Wainwright. Lester will stay in for sure now, so we'll never know what Farrell would have done.
