plus they’re east of Raleigh.

I get that TN is Cincinnati territory, and maybe the mountains of NC too. But why claim that this is the home territory of four teams?

I said it before...

BP would be fine in a lineup where he’s the fourth or fifth best hitter.

It doesn’t work when we expect him to be one of our best hitters. Moreover, a team with BP batting cleanup would never make the playoffs.

Best Start since Cueto's debut, yes.

I will always have a soft spot for the infamous Harang relief appearance last year. It may have killed him, but ol’ Aaron was nails for those 4 innings.

Both are great.

I would not be upset with 9 ip 3 hits 0 walks and 9ks either. It is a great debate to have. I hope that we can add more pitching performances to the debate in the near future.

If there are 3 consecutive batters in the NL you can get to chase a slider off the plate, it would be Matsui, Bourn, Tejada.

the problem is not the "non-save situation"

it’s Brantley acting as if Cordero should have trouble pitching in a tie ballgame, because it’s a non-save situation. That’s total crap.
