You have to be a little cocky to play this game. The Pirates' start could have been a lot worse, considering Jason Schmidt, Francisco Cordova and Kris Benson have yet to throw a pitch in a major-league game this season. Cordova and Schmidt may return in two weeks. But, right now, pitching isn't the team's main concern. We've got one guy hitting.
Nobody's really worried about it.
It's just frustrating. It's almost like we can't put together a string of hits. Once we get in a groove, we'll be good to go. When we get started, it's going to be an explosion. We're going to battle every night.
