The hat is a different color blue. The stripe on the side is white, the pants are gray. Just mismatched.

If the pants were white, or the stripe was gray… and the hat matched the shirt it’d be fine.

I was telling one of the cardinal fans at the stadium yesterday

the reason the rays are a very good team is because the play good baseball. they run, they play good defense, pitch well and play with great emotion to win. They dont just hit home runs to get back in the game, and they dont have super stars on their team. In a way they are the cardinals of the AL. The cardinals play very solid baseball. They pitch when they need to, and get hits when they need to and the Rays i feel are the same way in a sense.

So far Edwin is throwing strikes, not walking people, and doing fine despite a few hits.

If he can do this steadily he’s certainly improved.

My chief complaint was Edwin can’t succeed if he walks 4 per nine when the hits come falling. If he can keep dropping that number to the right side of 3.5, he’s probably a sub-4 ERA pitcher.

On top of that.

Full credit to Hickey/Jackson, but the emergence of a third pitch has just as much to do with his improve numbers as anything “mental”. Tough guy front =/= being a good pitcher.
