text: I agree.  This wasn't Diaz at all.  This season has been a ton of fun so far, but we still get to worry.  And what's been bothering me a bit all along is the situational hitting when they're behind or tied.  The RISP stats might look good, but these are inflated by run padding.  Sure, they've faced some tough pitchers, but this isn't an ordinary lineup.  Heck, Wolters has the highest OBP on the team!  
  
  As for Chatty, not that Black needs my sage advice, but I think he needs to be on a shorter leash until Gray gets going or Hoffman gets pulled in.  With Marquez and the toddler twins, they seem to thrive on pitching to the point of extinction and then quietly getting out of it.  Chatwood goes into a mental tailspin.
