I really hope we win tonight. I'd love to take a series from the Twins and Rays back to back. I think we have a good chance with Huddy on the mound. The guy going for the Rays tonight (James Shields, never heard of him cause he's a career Ray) has gotten touched up his last three starts bumping his era up to 4.55 from 2.99 in that span. Hopefully he continues to be ineffectual tonight.

The Braves scored enough runs to over come The Kamikazes today.

Cox talked with the media after and expects Kawakami to make one more schedule start before JJ comes back. He will be deciding who goes to the pen to make room and lets face it, there is no way he will beat Medlen out.

Kawakami was given a 4 run lead to work with this time and he still couldn't out-duel Kyle Davies... He apparently admitted that his mechanics have been off and he's not getting the speed he want on his pitches. So at least he can admit that.

So looks like JJ is very close, so a rotation of Hanson, JJ, Huddy, D-Lowe and Medlen could be right around the corner.

    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
    • That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
