    Both hitters chase the slider and looked at the fb . That was probably our best shot

    Best way to deal with the slider…..Hit the fastball you see for a strike.

    DT saw a nice fastball and so did Garrison. Neither swung.

    Curious - are uniform numbers a thing for baseball players like they are for football players?

    In general, baseball players are superstitious - so numbers matter usually. sometimes a lot. there have been instances in MLB where a player has bought a number from another player for big bucks - probably just so he doesn't have to get all new necklaces and pendants.

    No DP if Kurland runs bases correctly. That’s a big mistake.
