I watched them scrimmage yesterday, our pitching is flat out unbelievable.
Can't wait to see them start 11-0

And that's from five pitchers, right, not just one! Awesome!

I went to the scrimmage too, and saw the players having a good time. Of course, no one was hitting. Could it be that they haven't seen live pitching for a while? I know they practice with hitting machines, but that is not live. Did you see one time, when Ashley was pitching, no one was in the outfield. Like there was a sign, "Outfielders NOT needed."
