Good to see the team have a little fight in them. I am seeing more emotion in their faces, looking like they actually care instead of taking each game so lightly. I see a little change in their demeanor

Sorry to disagree, but I don't see any change in emotion from when they started the year.  I see a team that is playing better on a more consistent basis.  There is some marginal improvement in the starting pitching, and a little more improvement from the bullpen.  The defense is also improved, perhaps because the communication among the defenders is better.  I still think they waste too many clutch hitting chances.

 

They need pitching depth and quality desperately, and unfortunately there is no quick fix for that.  I wouldn't do anything at the trade deadline (as of now) unless they can get a major, long term boost in pitching without damaging the offense much.  It's in DiPoto's hands at the moment.

This just in: Josh Hamilton actually beat a relay throw to first on a potential double play last night.
