Well, 11 games remain in the Broncos' season. An analysis of last night's loss is unnecessary since the same culprits are to blame - lack of effort and poor situational hitting.
Oh, and add this one: too many free passes. Thirteen walks in a game? Yikes. The five-run differential could have been a lot worse if the Broncos hadn't tallied five double-plays.
After leaving 12 on base in their series finale against the Colts on Monday, the Broncos left nine on Tuesday.
It's looking doubtful that the Broncos will ever right the ship. If they haven't done so by now, it may be too late.
With that said, Edinburg is - rightfully deserved - one game ahead of Laredo for the fourth and final playoff spot.
The Broncos' best shot at winning a game of this series against Amarillo is likely tonight, with Gregorio Martinez on the mound.
Mickey Callaway, Thursday's slated starter, is unproven at this level so far, boasting a 4.50 ERA in relief.
I'm hoping he does well. Callaway is a good guy with great stuff and I'm anxious to see how he does in his first start.
I know he's been waiting for this opportunity for quite some time, and maybe his appearance will spark the team in some way.
The Broncos could use any sort of jolt of energy at this point.
I would love the chance to say anything positive about the team but it has done nothing to warrant praise.
With a new stadium on the horizon, you would think the Broncos' spirit would be up and they'd feel like they're playing toward a bigger and brighter future.
Nope.
Instead, they couldn't care less. And it shows with their play.
Anyway, in the meantime, between now and the first pitch of today's Game 2 of the series, send me your comments and thoughts or questions. I'll answer every one, and if there are enough inquiries, I'll even dedicate an entire blog post to it.
The email to submit those comments: densilva2@gmail.com. It'd be interesting to see what fans think of this enigmatic club.
