    Let's hope Brox has his good fastball and his sinker going tonight.

    Let's also hope Chapman is getting ready as soon as possible.

    Strikeouts aren't the only thing that defines a pitcher.

    I think some people are taking missing bats to an extreme religion these days. It's been proven that you can be successful without striking guys out at a prodigious pace. All things being equal, I like guys that miss bats too. But I also like guys that keep the ball down.

    Pretty good and decisive to me. Good thing there wasn't a perfect game on the line.

    Seemed like Pinella was always looking for a reason to skip him in the order. He was just doing it to screw with my fantasy team!

    I'll admit it was a lot closer than I originally thought. I still think he was safe.

    Hoover both misses bats and has shown to be quite capable in high pressure situations.

    I'll take that.

    I like Hoover. Make no mistake, I'm not trying to diminish him. I just think Broxton is a heck of a lot better than he's given credit for, despite him no longer striking out 12 batters per nine.
