I'm going to keep this one short. Last night was awesome and gut-wrenching at the same time, but I'm dragging today. As much as I love extra inning games, I love them less when I have to wake up for work before 6 (in the morning). Anyways, 5 quick observations.
1) Jordan Lyles looked like he's finally starting to figure things out. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
2) Paul Clemens' stuff is absolutely filthy. Finally pitching with a lead, he needed just 7 pitches to get 2 strikeouts. Kid's got stuff and kid's got swagger.
3) Jose Veras struck out all 4 hitters he faced and is pitching like a pitcher with a lot of confidence right now. We just need to get him some leads to protect.
4) For the first time all year, Brandon Barnes looked overmatched at the plate going 0/5 with 3 strikeouts. Hey, it happens. Doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things unless he strings a few of those together.
5) Carlos Pena has his average all the way up to .240 with 2 more hits last night. Pena has 4 multi-hit games in his last 5 games.
