Yeah there's zero reason to believe these guys will start hitting!

It's going to take a little more than 3 hits and one run off a AAA pitcher to make me feel any better.

It's not the hits, it's the swings. They've had much better swings the last 3 days. If that keeps up, the hits are going to come. Bradley hit the ball better than anybody but Lee in this game and he didn't get a hit. He hit the ball better than anybody in game 3 at St. Louis and he went 0-4. That's how it's going right now and it will change.

Last I knew...swings and moral victories didn't count.

That's an empty cliche.

Which result over a few games bodes better for long-term success? Good swings that are right at defenders or bloop hits?

Bingo.
