re: Blake Dean

Its not just Dean. We have 3-4 underachievers not getting the job done at the plate. Another great pitching performance wasted by a starter because we can't hit and our relievers can't hold down the other team.

But remember this is more or less the same team that was floundering and mediocre before the 23 game streak last year. It could be they are closer to being the team that performed so porly during the first half of last year than the one that went wild in the second half.

Baseball is a funny game but its not so funny that you can expect to win when only two players get hits in a game.
