    Timely hitting, and not trying to do too much.

    FWIW – we are below average at every position except DH, C, and 3B. 3B is 15th so right at average. C we are number 2 with the other Contreras brother setting the pace. Dead last for CF. No surprise there.

    That’s a winner. The pitching has gotten worse but the offense has completely transformed.

    That “L” needed to go.

    Game Ball I leave to our booth statistician J.

    Ha! Thanks I guess. But I’m going to take it and hand it over to Alec B. Could have been many of our hitters tonight, but the Burly one was a major spark tonight.

    Just arrived home from a dinner function…..excuse me……a din-din function….and am very pleased to see us ramrodding the RedSox and Kitty getting back on track. Speaking of Kitty, when looking at his delivery, he distinctly reminds you of 3 pitchers with the first name “Jim” from back when most of us here were kids. Jim “Catfish” Hunter, Jim “Mudcat” Grant and Jim Kaat…..all rolled into one and you have Kitty.

    Some beautiful Catfish Fiddler restaurant recommendations, gentlemen! I’m most proud to announce 3 new inductees into the Friday Catfish Fiddler Fan Club……congrats to TD and Bling! And to Cardinal In France…..you’re in too as Monkfish, on name alone, definitely qualifies your induction. Our once little club is growing faster than Kyle Hendricks’ ERA.

    The Reds just tied the Doyers 3-3 on a dong by Stephenson.

    Betts and Watubi with dongs for the Doyers in this one.

    Kittredge is a Motte look-a-like for me when he’s on the mound. Just stands, steps and throws. No wasted motion, all business.

    Just watched last night’s game om MLB-TV replay (didn’t start til 2 a.m. my time). What joy! Where has all that offense been hiding? Must have been the monkfish.

    I wonder about an offense that can turn on like a light switched on. Individuals go hot and cold, but the whole lineup in unison is sort of creepy. I assume it could turn off if the switch gets flipped. There must be some conspiracy theory at work. It does lend weight to the idea that if you can sneak into post season and flip the switch you can grab the flag.

    If we could come up with a Flood and Javier somehow it would really be something.

    Bikemike, I had an uncle who used to get Curt Ford and Curt Flood mixed up all the time. ha!

    Gibson’s turning in another journeyman performance thru 5. You almost have to be at least satisfied so far with all 3 additions to the rotation.

    I agree 1TD. I am very pleased with the three rotation additions. It is the two holdovers who are holding us back, along with a shaky offense.

    The lineup conspiracy theory likely leans toward the opposing pitcher. That fits with the hot and cold hitting at the same time.

    The lineup is hustling on the basepaths. With that effort level I don’t question whether there are other agendas. The hustle is the tell, right?
