Streaking

Just a few numbers here to chew over after tonight's game against the Cardinals. The first number is 2, as in Charlie Morton's second win of the season. Yes it is hard to believe, but the guy that many thought would take up the slack and be more a factor in the starting rotation, has finally gotten his second win, and well it is only the end of September.

The next number is 6 in that Morton lasted six strong innings. He looked as sharp as we have seen in some time. It is a start like this that makes you remember what you may have thought we might have with him.

12, as the twelfth home run by Pedro Alvarez. We are just getting a glimpse of what this young man can do to hit the ball out of the ballpark. Perhaps with all of this time in this season, he may make adjustments for next season that will help him become an even more productive middle of the lineup guy.

The final number is 5 as in a five game winning streak. The Bucs have not done that in over a year. I have nothing more to add.
