Yep, just get those series wins! Good job Pen!
I missed yesterday's game, so I can't really comment on things with any detail whatsoever. But I admit when I came to read the board, I was a bit surprised. The wailing, and gnashing of teeth caught me off guard. But again, I didn't see the game, I saw the score, and just chalked it up to the venue. And some of our crap pitchers having to eat innings. So the amount of runs didn't bother me. 16, whatever, it's Colorado.
Just like I didn't look at today's 8 spot and Friday's fiver, and think hooray our bat problems are solved. But if we would have lost today........Then yeah, so in any series, I guess everything can turn on one game. And today, fortunately, was in our favor. That's baseball.
Like Emp said, and DJ always emphasizes, it's about getting series wins. Which definitely made the St. Louis series frustrating. (speaking of which, went to their board, baseball thread, which in the past is hopping. It is pretty much dead this season. Hardly any convo at all. So for them, this must be the "dark days". And our announcers also mentioned that Cards fan support is drying up, in comparison to past years.)
Glad we got this series win, and can't wait to see Skenes tomorrow (watching at home). Anyone going to the game, stay hydrated, gonna be a hot one.
