No sweep.

We won another series but everyone seems focused on our not getting the sweep. While I agree that a sweep would be great I don't think it makes our team bad. Or as LaVelle E Neal III suggests a "sign of inability to finish." This is a good team that is playing good but not even as good as they can and they are winning. I have heard fans complaining about their patience at the plate. Yes that's right PATIENCE! They think they should be swinging away.

Consider these stats:
2nd in American league in runs 98
2nd in AL runners left on base 144
.262 with runners in scoring position
4 for 26 .156 bases loaded

Now you can look at those and say wow we left a lot of guys on base. How about instead you say we scored 98 runs and had potential for a lot more? There is no way we only hit .262 the rest of the year, not with these hitters. You could also say Wow we loaded the bases a lot! Our hitters are not going to bat .156 at those times for the rest of the year. Hey we left a lot of runs on the bases but gee! we have won 13 out of 19 games.

Lets try our best to be positive fans not negative. Enjoy the day off and get back at the cheering Tues!
