Hitting can be streaky. I'm confident the bats will come back. With Guillome back, it gives Buck more options for the lineup.
The pitching is what has me worried. Contrary to current convention, I don't consider 3 earned runs a quality start unless it's a complete game. So I wasn't pleased with Jake last night. And now Peterson gets knocked out after a third of an inning, giving up 4 runs (so far).
We're a game ahead of the Braves, who are also struggling. That one game may be the difference in the final standings. At the current pace, we are on track to win 101 games. That should be enough to clinch the division. If not, we've got the wild card in the bag.
