Decent Start
It looks like so far, while there maay be a few things to be concerned about, there are also some things to be upbeat about. At 2 wins, 2 losses, the starting pitching has been good, except for Big Z's clunker on Opening Day. Especially encouraging was last night's outing by Rich Hill, who pitched 7 innings and only threw 78 pitches. Who knew that not walking batters was a good thing? Also, it looks like the hitting ought to come around in the warmer weather, based on the offense last night, in a 60 degree climate controlled stadium. The best part about this team so far, though is Lou's hands on approach to managing, like his "throw f--king strikes" advice to Ryan Dempster Wednesday night. The lazy, toothpick-chewing slob would never have done anything like that. I have a feeling if the players screw up or do stupid or lazy things, "hands on" might end up being around their throats.
