Before Wednesday's game, their extraordinary struggles w/RISP seemed to come from being overanxious at the plate. It was as if they were taking Hud's brainless advice to "GO UP THERE HACKIN'!" far too seriously, especially in those situations. No, I don't think that they literally take Hud or his opinions seriously, but they might as well have been doing so.

But Wednesday night they found a way to be selective, but also aggressive when appropriate. I'd like to see a whole lot more of that approach and a whole lot less of the Hud approach!

Appreciate the content, as usual David. I live in Dallas and was at the game last night (and Monday's dud), and man was it nice to see good pitching, good hitting, and a dominant win. Bobby running wild was an added bonus as he is so much fun to watch on the bases. My wife remarked that she'd be into watching a lot more games if they play like that more often (wouldn't we all!). I guess I kinda forgot that sometimes your team just makes it look easy, but what a treat to see it come together last night, and at least a glimpse of what could be...
