This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Total team play leaves a lot to be desired by NH74Domer
While the quality of our pitching has been poor to date (outside of few on the staff), I have to wonder how they are being used. We seem to be wedded to an opener approach that may have cost us two games this weekend. Bedford was pulled after 55 pitches in a tied game on Saturday and Radel on Sunday leading 3-1 and only throwing 44 pitches. The bullpen lost both of those games (although Flynn ran into a bit of bad luck). What shouldn’t be ignored is our hitting (or lack there-of).
In six league games so far, Irish batters are averaging 10Ks/game. In overall play, we are last in the conference in hits and walks, which makes us dead last in OB%. (Reminds me of last year’s Yanks).
This might be a bigger problem to fix than the pitching.
