Dustin may or may not have a bereavement excuse. Ozzie still has Marte down there although he's not your guy in save situations either.
He is not on the bereavement list yet.
Inge k's.

Does Roger Powell have any chance of getting picked up...I thought about a month ago they said he could go in the late second round somewhere...Maybe I was wrong?
He will probally get a few calls as a 11th/12th man as a small foward ( he is the size of decent sized shooting guards in todays game.

Anyone notice lately that Pods has been swinging a lot more freely, instead of taking pitches and working a count? Hope the disease isn't spreading to him.
67 at-bats in april he had 11 walks.
102 walks in may and he had 12 walks.
75 at-bats in june and 7 walks.
Not a good sign.

Over/under on how many times we see a dumb nickname like Dingo?
I'll set it at four.
If a run scores and we lose. You can bet it will be over four, by about thirty.

Yah. A walk basically does nothing but help us. Sets up the force play and double play.
Problem is logan and inge are not easy to double up. Anything with less than one bounce and we will not get a double play ( most likely).
