Ugliest Sweep Ever?
I am no doubt about it happy that we got our first SWEEP of the season, but my god I never want to go back to PNC Park again. A lot of good and a lot of bad came out of this 3 games series with the Bucks. 1) a sweep of course 2) 5 wins in a row 3) off to a better start this year than last. 4) Leiber saved the day twice. However, 1) we taxed the crap out our bull pen in the first 2 marathons of games and then Rich Hill goes only 3 innings today! He totally did not step up when we needed him to eat some innings. Hopefully that was an anomaly for Rich. 2) Wood blew a save that could have shortened the game by 6 innings. 3) Lee is back in a slump. 4) Lilly got rocked again, and blew a 7-0 lead!
There is plenty more good and bad, but it's too early in the year for me to keep going. Let's just keep winning series and move on.
