Hey! This is a rough and tough old league! Four injuries in my first week and I lose shortstop Clarence Evans for four months

What happened to giving the new guy a bit of time to settle in!

Weird week for us while compiling our 3-3 record (which we'll gladly take at this point).

We scored 34 runs which is a ton for us. Only two position players failed to drive in a run (6 players have multiple RBIs already and every position player scored at least one run.

We gave up 32 runs which is very uncharacteristic for us. Hopefully the pitching settles down soon (I'm looking at you Doug Miles).

We picked up Castro in FA just in case he has a little left in the tank. We'll try to work him into a couple of games a week in some capacity and see what he can do. He's still decent behind the plate so even if he settles in as the backup we should be ok with that.

That's what Spring Training was for.

Still, a 5-1 week is very impressive. Glad to have you.

The Colonials stole 21 bases in 6 games. Hector Chavez stole 8 all by himself. What a freaking pinball machine that offense is.

Philly's Rule V pickup from last season Wes Fitzpatrick hit 1 HR during 216 ABs in 1992. He hit 2 HR in 7 AB during the first week of this season.

He's been on base 10 times, and has 8 steals. That is ridiculous.

Catchers need to bring their big boy pants against the Colonials.

I'm a firm believer that catcher defense has a sizable impact on this game. Your post illustrates one of many reasons why.

(Note that this assumes that you have a good pitching staff, just to preempt all the forthcoming emails about how I have a good defensive catcher yet lost 100 games last season).

Says the guy whose team lost 100 games last year.

Says the guy that team just took a series from.

Fair enough.

Hope you enjoy the taste of my ass this year, clown!

Lol, you must be confusing your ass with that hole you have in front again.

Even if you were in front of me, as you're attempting to imply, I'm not sure why you'd be making an effort to taste that.
