    I'm still holding out hope. I drank the Kool-Aide again this past winter. A whole gallon of it. But yea, it's hard to stay positive. Especially after last night.

    Trying so hard to be positive, but 1-0 down feels like a mountain to climb. Pitchers are consistently giving the hitters platforms they don't take advantage of....They're making Hudson look like a Cy Young contender.

    Cards are like, eff it, these people are a joke. We can take out our starter who's dominating and still be OK.
    Rounding third and heading for home...

    I assume because he's only pitched twice this year, three weeks apart.

    I swear our whole team goes up there assuming every pitch is a fastball. A curveball in the dirt you swing at because it would be in the zone in the fastball.

    We take curveballs at the top of the plate because if it were a fastball it would be a ball.

    Literally every at bat it felt like against this 12-6 curveball Hudson throws we had no idea how or when he would use it, despite it being his main pitch.

    not to that level that I am aware of.....I could see maybe to some degree related to seizures which cause someone to exhibit spasm's....but 100 other things do also like stubbing your toe on the bed post. Spaz comes from Spastic as far as I know....and just represents clumsy or irregular movements by a body.

    And is it worth it to keep putting him out there to get to that place?

    I thought getting a player going no matter how bad they are hitting or pitching was strictly Dusty Baker old school philosophy
