Yep, he didn't leave early.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 11:06 PM) Beckham did NOT leave early. BS CALL! Thought it was extremely close

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 11:05 PM) What is Jeff Cox doing over there? Seems like Beckham screwed himself up by thinking that ball was dropping off of the bat.

You've got to be kidding me. 2 runs wasted on dumb base running.

There we go Teahen!

Great at bat by Beckham! First and third them here

AJ's niced, balance swing he had the last month or so seems to have left him at the ASB.

Excellent!

No low fastballs to Guillen here.

Darn, a Pierre-inspired double.

Huge inning coming up for Edwin. Gotta keep Ordonez off the bases.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 10:41 PM) I want a MOON shot from dunn 1 for 15 for the 2nd half boys so far?

Alexei has been brutal in that spot, but man, Juan should have scored there.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) So, what bad contract could we swap Rios for? Young, Lowe, Figgins? Figgins...other ones would never be given up for Rios

Stay hot Juan!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 09:24 PM) Seriously, why is Rios still on this team? Just f***ing DFA him. Are we proud to be sporting The Worst Hitter in the League? Is this some kind of crowning achievement for KW and OG? Way too much money to pay him to go away.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 09:23 PM) Looks like he is swinging a wet newspaper. Even his hits are soft/weak liners. I've predicted he won't be in the majors by the end of next season.

Very interesting that Allen says "Ozzie going to the Marlins after this season is the worst kept secret in baseball".

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) Juan Pierre, 648 OPS Alex Rios, 560 OPS Just wow. Hard to imagine that even Brian Anderson could be doing much worse than that. Heck, Kotsay/Erstad/Mackowiak would be beating it. Plain and simple, a change has to be made. You can't keep getting such little production from him.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) Quentin now 5/7 after the Break, back up to 873 OPS. That's a ton of hitter for the Braves, Giants or Phillies. Thanks Rios. Please put yourself on the PUP list. BTW, wonder if the DBacks would like to undo that Joe Saunders for Haren deal? They did great a top prospect in Skaggs out of it.

Come on Rios...just retire or something

Got to have Rios avoid the DP here. Heck, I'd rather he bunt

So Badger, let me ask you this: what do you feel Rios provides this team right now?/

Excellent!

Jackson is throwing some terrible offspeed pitches this inning.
