Solid pitching and defense in game 3. Amazing what you can accomplish when you do those 2 things.

1 win better than none. Pheww
That was a great at bat by Higgs.
Rawls with 8th win of the season.
We are now tied for 2nd in the conference.
Deggs sounded unfazed in his postgame interview. Talked about "weathering the storm." I get wanting to not panic, but we tilt to the other extreme IMO where we almost come off too nonchalant. That mentality has been a concern of mine ever since we slept walked through High Point. We are just way too comfortable with playing inconsistent baseball.
Theut and Debarge are out, but c'mon man. 15 free passes in a Friday night game is not being "in the midst of a storm." Neither is hitting 4 guys in 1 inning. Neither is striking out 12+ times in each of the first two games of a series against a team where pitching isn't their strong suit. We have played the type of ball that will not get you wins against tough competition for the vast majority of this season. I understand trusting the process, but at some point, accountability and holding yourself to a standard have to come in to play.
Be careful what you wish for. Burning Rawls on a Friday night and losing 1-0, 2-1 is the makings for a sweep. We can’t hit good pitching at this point. Would hate to kill our chances at a Saturday or Sunday win that way. Just playing a bit of devils advocate here. I do not think Hammond is the Friday guy.
