I think Latos pitches lights out tonight, or absolutely bombs early on from trying too hard against his former team.
But you have to move forward in thinking. They have to go into every game thinking win and every series thinking win.
IF they lost two of three and seemed down maybe Price could satisfy the media and fans by saying it was a successful road trip but the players and manager has to want more.
I know they can get swept in this series and still have ample time to overcome....but winning series most of the rest of the way is a must. Sure there is time to lose several series the rest of the way and still get where we want.....but I'd rather make a SD series a win rather than having to beat a much better team in Sept.....leeway is nice, but right now there isn't any.
