There's a reason he gets so many ND......it's because he tries to K everyone instead of conserving. That's why you never see him going usually more then 7 innings. I mean he's got like 1 or 2 complete games his entire career right?

Great pitcher, but he needs to learn to conserve and get more innings and not throw out his arm going for 15 K's a game

Greinke is about to be 7-1 in 8 games, no ND, because he pitches 7 or more starts every game
I really don't think that going only 7 innings is a problem. Yes, he doesn't have many complete games, but he still pitches very effectively through seven usually. In fact, he usually dominates through seven so therefore if the bullpen is at least decent, getting a win is not usually a problem. Brian Wilson is 8 for 10 in save opportunities this year...not bad.

Wow he is brutal.

And also I hope you don't expect Greinke to keep up this unbelievable pace. I have high hopes for him, but he's not going to have 15 complete games at the end of the year...at least I don't think.

Another save for K-rod, lights out this year.

Wright with 4 RBI's tonight. He is starting to heat up and bust out his magic stick.

If we win tomorrow we take the series, since its a 4 game series. I love the comebacks we have made these past 2 nights, we need to continue this good road trip. 2-0.

Marlins starting to fall out of pace with the rest of the NL East.

Unfortunately, you're right. I have high hopes for Miller, but I also know that tomorrow could be a rough day for him. I'm just hoping he gets through 5 without too much damage. And Uggla is slumping mad right now...yuck.

eh
we have Eric Milton going tomorrow. he just got called up today
idk how he will do. he was ok in ST

and on Sunday we have Kershaw going. He can be excellent, but he gets himself in trouble walking so many batters and he is iffy on the road.

hopefully you are right about you guys though lol

Im enjoying it, lol. Get to see some L's from our division rivals. Until we face the Dodgers, which will be an interesting series.

Oh and btw, we just went through the Giants ace.

Now they have to go through or ace in Johan Santana, lol.

So much for our offense finally getting on track. And our defense was horrible. Embarrassing. Brett Anderson is a top 15 prospect in all of baseball and he has been horrible to start the season. He's like 0-4 now. I think he may need more time in the minors, he's obviously not ready.

12 of 18 wins by way of comebacks, this team is not only resilient, but they are looking to hit their mark with Melky and Gardner starting to get hot at the plate and already being good outfielders.

And if the Yankees continue to struggle, I can see a Blue Jays series win against them.
Maybe next time lol

Yeah next time. As long as we still have the lead on the division I'm happy!

Well you've been wrong once already so far, maybe that'll be the streak that is consistent with the Jays this year. :D
