Pierce just took out McCann and replaced him with Michael Cantu...

Defensive substitution.

I never thought I would say this but Cantu needs to go play beer league softball someplace. I never call out players, ever but I'm tired of seeing him.

I am hard to please but right now as a team we look better than we have in a couple of years. Not Omaha ready, but definitely better.

Helluva job today Will.  I hope you'll post some of your post-game quotes here. 

 

[Bear19]

I hope to use my broom a lot this year. It hasn't gotten much work the last couple of years.

SWEEP!!! #HookEm

 

[Bear19]

Couple of impressions I have. I do not have the statistics to back them up but it just seems to me that :

We are not swinging as often at balls out of the strike zone.

We are not taking as many halfway or "excuse me" swings.

We are not taking as many call strike threes.

Others?

That's high praise, (or possibly beer-induced praise,) but I'll take it, either way.
