Liked The Most Equal Vanimal's fastball movement, if not the velocity, and gained some hope that he'll have some really nice days with this approach. He'll get dinged a lot too though.

Liked Hicks' final plate appearance after getting worked by one of the best pitchers in baseball. That's why he's here already.

Didn't like the relative absence of actual, identifiable off-speed pitches from Worley - though I can concede this could improve as the weather warms. That's how the Brad Radke army became more Blackburn than Radke.

Didn't like Hicks getting abused that badly. Put the ball in play, chief.

Didn't like Florimon booting a potentially important ball at short in the late innings.

Didn't like the shallow bench.
