Thanks for swinging.

I know.  Lately it seems like we make all the bad swings.  Especially Abrams and Wood, of all people.

Nice post-game interview.  He was very straight talking - last week for him was the lowest of lows, and tonight was a real high, to be trusted by Butera and the coaching staff.  Admitted that after the first two outs he got away from what he was doing but in the end just trusted to let the fielders do their jobs.  (my paraphrasing, he said it differently).

Lawrence was wild but ... at least he didn't look like he was throwing batting practice out there.
