Thank Yu, sei



Give Yusei the ball again and again, please.  He knows how to stop the bleeding.  Another solid start from a pitcher who appears to think about what he is doing.   I saw him quoted after yesterday's 7-4 win over the dominating Twins.  He said he could see they were a fastball hitting team, so he threw his heater "just a little bit faster."  And it worked, along with mixing in an excellent slider and curve.

In other news, one of the "Zaks," Swar, is gone.  Six home runs in 8+ innings will get you traded to the Braves who must be even more desperate than the Ms for relievers.  He started well, looking terrific in his first six relief appearances, then started dishing up home runs like fries with Big Macs.  Farwell, Swar.

Off to play the Rangers on the road.  Be nice to get a couple of wins.
