Does anyone else think that Scott Shaw is pitching himself into a pink slip? I think he is. Probably won’t be around to much longer with how poorly he has pitched this season.  He has always had marginal stuff at best so this could be the final straw.  The offense doesn’t do much, but of course Captain Kirk Nieuwenhuis had a good game.

Honestly what Wilmer Flores is doing right now is just ridiculous and makes me glad he was not traded for a couple months of Cliff Lee.  He is currently riding a 13-game hit streak and has a hit in all but 1 game in St. Lucie.  Brandon Moore is actually doing better than I thought he would since the promotion.  Keeping hits reasonable and strikeouts up.  He just needs to get the walks down a little bit.
