Again, can nola play Shortstop or center field. the worst thing that could have happened was for kingery to have that great spring mostly against AAA and AA pitchers. he should be in AAA himself for most of this year. tough to learn on the job but his offense is really anemic. does he have any options left? Maybe Manny is the ticket. i might be warming to give up Eflin for him.Maybe. And you know how much i love good young pitching. that is terrible. sorry to vent. wasn't nola super. Awesome.gm

God bless
There was no doubt in my mind after the HBP Flores was going to get on base.
Hunter was so close to a great night, but as usual, get two outs and then fall apart. Not the veteran performance we expect. Need one out badly.
Can't expect Hunter to give you two perfect innings. Question is can he (or someone else) get the job done.
Conforto

Michael Conforto walks.
Arano in, can allow his 2nd game losing homer in one day.
Awful performance from Hunter with two out. He was so close to a good outing and then cannot get it done.
This is a dumb sport. (Not really, it's fun. Let's see what Arano's got.)
It is just never easy for this team. Surprised Kapler does not have a stroke.
Had ‘em all the way, Harry! Back in first after a couple hours, win #50. Win #50 last year came on August 31.
