Nick Smith - "To Tell the Truth?"

It's baffling without any insight about his health. All I ever heard was a couple of TV guys on a road game saying he had surgery over the past year and was finally healthy.  They never said any more about and nobody else has mentioned it. I can't even recall which TV game I heard it. If it was an elbow or a shoulder, most likely he wouldn't be pitching at all unless he wants to play through it and go on with his life without baseball.  Obviously he has no pro future now. But his WHIP is dreadful. 46 hits in 26 innings, I don't think Wes expects him to do anything. 

Not sure what you mean by Bosse Field, but if the thrust is that Murray is a contender, everybody is a contender until they aren't. At the moment, only Valpo and Bradley are on the outside looking in, since I really think Misery State is better than their record. In a best-of-one, I like the Aces hitting and base running against a pitcher who is having trouble throwing strikes with the wind blowing out on a Thursday before lunch with a lefthanded umpire covering the left side of the field.
