Well these last few games scream that Hillman's sermons on fundamentals are not working. Granted they should not have to be preached. Hitting the cutoff man, turing clutch Dp's to hold the lead and not walking in runs...oh and not looking at strike 3 with bases loaded in th 9th 1 out and not jumping out of the way of a ball that would bring in the tying run......those are the things winning teams do.

And yes, Butler needs a talking too about swinging at what I say was ball 3 with no strikes on him
