Bullard Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Hello everyone. Sorry its been awhile but I have no phone line in my apartment and only a handful of the hotels on the road have free online connections. Right now we are in Jacksonville and we won an 11am game 3-0. Pacheco continued his dominance with 6 scoreless inn. and his fastball was 90-96 the whole time. Ringer picked up another save in relief. We finish this 4 game series tomorow night at 705e. I am making a spot start because of the doubleheader we played the other day screwed up the rotation. My move to the bullpen (which I initiated) has been pretty smooth except for my walk totals. My velocity has increased, mainly because I can lay it all out on the line for 1-2 inn. instead of pacing myself for 6-7. Its fun to be able to have the opportunity to pitch every night out of the pen. That is one of the reasons I made the move, I can pitch everyday (my body is pretty resilient), and I add another lefty to our pen with Ring. They say I still have to get 80-100 inn. this year so I will probably make most of the spot starts throughout the year as well. As for the team, we have had a lot of ups and downs already and its still April. But our pitching has been pretty solid and our hitting has been off and on but when we need a run we seem to get it 90 percent of the time. I think we are starting to come together and we have a chance to finish above .500 for April. I read some of the posts and see Rex Hudler seems to go to a lot of our games. Hey Rex, dont be afraid to come down to the pen during the games and say hi. I would like to meet you if you dont mind giving up your anonymity. Finally keep an eye on our staff this season because Cotts and PAcheco have been unbelievable and Malone, West, Ulacia are settling down. Not to mention our bullpen is pretty damn good as well.

greg775 Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 Keep it rolling, Jim. This is so cool to have a player posting. You must continue when you make it to the big club. p.s. Question: Do we fans make too big a deal out of clubhouse chemistry or is it important? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
