Stack delivered and I'm really happy for him and the team. It was good to see a veteran bail out the team today and I hope that they took note of what he did there. It looked pretty shaky for a while with our prolonged hitting slump. Please take this for just an observation okay...it looks like guys are in general....pulling off the ball and not staying inside the ball as a general rule. And, once you have 2 strikes you have to shorten up and get the ball in play. Hawks haven't strung good AB's together very well at all this year. The amount of K's is alarming and these guys are FAR too talented to have that happen. It worked out today and today was a start. They have to build further from this tomorrow and score runs the old fashioned way a bit more. It can't be an all or nothing approach because we have seen how that works out.

The pitching was better today. Alex had a good outing today. He was sharp and commanded both sides of the plate and kept hitters off balance. The bullpen did it's job for the most part.

Hawks have to play 1 game at a time and focus on every play to get back to where this team expects to be. Throw strikes early and work quickly and let the D work. The offense has to build on today and produce good AB's back to back 1-9. That's Seahawk ball and they haven't been playing it.
