This is fascinating to me: not that team chemistry is as great as it is right now, in spite of the fact that our record still isn't that great, we have been playing better of late. And we did recently trade away the only unmotivated player we had (Jamison Bash.)
But what fascinates me is that with our long-time captain Abel Pennington on the injured list and out for the season with a ruptured bicep tendon, it is not Matt Helm, who also is considered a captain, who our great team chemistry is being attributed to primarily, but rather Kevin Curtis.
Not that I'm complaining, but it does make me wonder what the algorithm is here that causes this to happen.
Curtis has been on the team longer than Helm and is our starting catcher and a fan favorite while Helm bounces from bullpen to rotation.
I sense perhaps a captain title classification is coming to Curtis before long.
