Nicely done by Alexei. It's amazing what not bunting can do.

Pods blasted that one for a double. Do not bunt here!!

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) Is there a more complete 5 tool player in baseball than BJ Upton? Pujols (considering his steals)

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:50 AM) ughh i hate the top of their order.... This lineup is extremely impressive

Haha, Fields is just comical at the plate. Price looks to have found his release point.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:43 AM) yeah he seemed to just shut down beckham that AB no chance at all Gotta find a way to get his pitch count up so he can only go 5 innings.

Price seems to be throwing extremely hard now.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:40 AM) im surprised they are giving fields an AB i cant remember the last one he's gotten...prolly a K so i doubt i was missing anything I don't like him in the lineup against a pitcher who can throw mid-90s.

There we go, much better curve.

Gavin's going to get crushed tonight if he keeps falling behind hitters and can't find his curve. Tampa can destroy a fastball.

This ump is giving these pitchers nothing!

I love that we have two players in the lineup, Quentin and Beckham, that bring such an excitement to me in watching them bat.

Time to pull him for defensive purposes.

Mercy, I love to watch him swing the bat.

What's the chances of a HBP with Quentin up?

Richard and Wise having a nice little conversation there. I wonder if they'll be roommates in Charlotte in two weeks?

Wow, Longoria's lucky he didn't get injured there.

Those were just about the most crisp fastballs we've seen from Gavin all year.

Wow, that was AJP's best throw of the year!

Wow, Gavin getting squeezed so far. Floyd might as well let Crawford steal and focus on the runner.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:33 AM) So basically it was Hudson, Richard, and Poreda for Peavy? I can see why they'd do it, but we still lucked out on the injury. The thing is, that injury happened in the game after he declined the trade and it was from running the bases. If he accepts the trade, that injury never happens.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 11:31 PM) I though it was 4 pitching prospects? Hudson was for sure one of them

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) Am i the only one who kind of wishes that Peavy deal went down now? After seeing Poreda pitch, I have now changed my stance. I'm disappointed the Peavy deal didn't go through.
