Mike Leake vs. Felix Peña/Noe Ramirez, 7:10pm
It’s Edgar’s weekend which allows us to focus on something other than the current state of the club. We all knew a step back meant another year without the playoffs, and a year without big acquisitions at the deadline, but it’s starting to feel like a year without scoreless innings. It’s rough.
JP Crawford’s slumping. Dan Vogelbach is slumping. The bullpen youngsters have yet to show where the ‘slump’ ends and the ‘true talent’ ends. I want to watch these games to see the next good team germinate and break the surface, but pretty much by definition, that means watching a bunch of players fail so 1-2 can succeed.
