Not a lot from me for once, mainly because I have more questions than answers as we enter this series.
How much do we have left in the tank? How few runs can our pitching keep their huge lineup to and will we be able to score more? How much will we miss Wells and, them, Cooper?
The answer to each of these and many more will come over the next four-to-seven games. That is the only thing I am sure of here.
So tightly have we maintained our roster this season that we only have 22 eligible players to field.
Here goes nothing.
