  1. My biggest takeaway from this game is that we need to move on from Viloria. He’s been about as bad as gets the last six weeks. Bring Huff up and let split time with Jonah 50/50.

  2. On a positive note Bubba has looked really good. When he gets on base it seems like the pitchers pay more attention to him the the batter at the plate. Hope he sticks around, his speed makes every ball in play exciting.
