pinch hitting for hughes is fine. we have the pitchers, we have the hitters. actually we might not have the pitchers. but we need 2 runs before we can worry about that. give that wilkerson and byrd are the only ones making good contact. they need runners on base
If you start Zimmerman, Carroll and Short rather than Castilla, Cruz and Guzman you'll probably score more runs. So you don't have to burn through so many pitchers.
We don't have enough pitchers. This is a really bad spot in our rotation. We only have Patterson in game four. In this game and tomorrow, we are going to have to score runs to win.
If you score more runs then you can afford to give up more runs. In games two and three of this series, defense really has to take a back seat. If we're going to win we're going win "high scoring" games.
