[VoteForKalas]

Rob better.be asked by reporters after the game two things:

1. Why they continue to pitch Walker in the rotation?

2. What specific steps are being taken to get this offense back on track?

And they need to ask those questions every night and every day until clear answers are provided.

Again - a hopeless approach by Stott. Trying to do too much.

[LoneStarPhan]

Stott works himself into an out. A walk would have given JT a chance. No certainty he would have done anything, but I'd have liked to see him get a chance.

I'm feeling like I'm back in the 1950's and watching a team that is going nowhere. I remember those years where by August, I was anxiously awaiting football season.
