20 hits tonight, 16 of those were singles.

Somewhere, perhaps inside a barn within a rustic setting, Trey Hillman is lubing up his palm.

I think managers are quite a bit overrated, but even with that caveat, I disagree with very little of what Yost is doing other than his obsession with Kendall. (or is it the organization? What kind of blackmail photos does he have of DM?)

This team will still lose until the minor league talent comes up in a couple years, but its still nice to not have an idiot manager.

It is crazy how much difference a decent MLB manager actually makes. I don't blame Yost too much for Kendall, he doesn't have a whole lot to work with right now. I don't expect them to compete yet, but at least they are enjoyable to watch most nights.

We are a pretty weak ass team, LMAO

It's good to see they won, its hard to score runs on a ton of singles

throw in 4 walks and 3 errors and anything is possible. Also a couple very rare calls: a batter's interference and a catcher's interference, both breaking our way.

Also 1 passed ball, 4 or 5 wild pitches (including back-to-back to score billy butler of all people from second), all of them in our favor

I actually started playing my MLB10:The Show franchise... apparently I can't fire Hillman. :doh!:
