Freshman catcher Schuyler Mann nicely filled the void left by Brian Lentz on both sides of the plate, hitting with aplomb while frequently punishing would-be base stealers...
...shied away from the material on his latest album, Everyday, save for the two obligatory monster singles “I Did It” and “The Space Between.” Matthews’ band was incredibly tight, each member playing their part with aplomb and fading into the background skillfully for the songs where they were not featured.

A little bit cynical, a tad sarcastic and tons of fun, Amit...
