    Some offense would be nice.

    JoJo sets them down 1-2-3….with a little help from his 3rd baseman. 3-2 Birds heading to the 9th, where I in no way would be adverse to a run or two insurance policy.

    Still don’t get why Victor doesn’t try and lay it down. That first pitch would have been a perfect ball to bunt.

    Well that was boring. Scott had another impotent at bat.

    Helsley coming in.

    Yeah the chocolate frosted with the cream filling are the only way to go if you really want to supplement the offseason workout regimen…

    Did Kitty pitch last night? Obviously, Helsley is coming in, but just curious. I love Kitty.

    8 of our last 9 games have been 3 runs or less for us.

    No walks and no drama tonight Mr. Helsley.

    Thanks Jnevel.

    Don’t see too many starters go 7 these days with only one K.

    Helsley slightly wild so far. Still effective though.

    Helsley with a perfect 9th to seal the deal……3-2 Cards your final.

    Well, back to even money. That’s a start.

    Butler helps out Helsley by swinging at ball 4 twice and that’s a winner!

    Good win – pitching, defense and small ball. Sounds like a Whitey team.

    They had 4 hits. Whitey wouldn’t have drawn that up at all. Hate cliches!

    Lynn had a solid game and JoJo and Helsley slammed the door shut. Our pitching won us this game.

    It is hard to say you deserved the win when you get only 4 hits. But it was the As and a win counts the same as any other win.

    I wonder what will happen with Thompson. Since exiting the rotation 14 days ago, he has pitched once. A 3 inning middle relief appearance 7 days ago. That went well I think. I guess he will ride the bench until something goes wrong with somebody else. Not really the outcome you want from a first rounder.

    Game Ball to the TCN gamethread!
    (and Lance Lynn)

    Way to bring home a win. We gained a game on the entire division! Two games back!
