QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 26, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) Rios is just as bad as dunn one K's and walks the other K's and pops out on the infield No way. Rios is hitting 50 points better than Dunn, and is playing great defense. He's also made adjustments to his swing (unlike Gordon), and at least projects to put together a replacement-level season if he continues to shake off his May.

Diamondbacks announcers say Humber has the best curve they've seen all year.

I've never understood why fans get so caught up in the personalities of their favorite players. So what if player A is a jerk, I'm rooting for him in the fantasy world of sports, I don't care if he tips poorly or yells at his kids too loudly. I don't want to be his friend. There are exceptions for felons, batterers, and maybe Pete Rose, and while Manny may have "cheated," if we've learned anything about PED's, it's that speculation is rampant, and countless others were using them, greenies, B12, or someting similar. I don't care if I'd like Manny as a person, I want him to hit, and I won't stop rooting for a sports team, because i don't like the personalities of the players on the team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) Wow, Rios with just a terrible effort there. He just isn't close to the same player he was during the first half. Everything pounded into the ground.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) not really impressive for a scoreless 3.2 IP ... biggest thing has been no walks, and our D hasn't helped him much, but hes gotten away with a bunch of hanging sliders....not many hard hit balls though among the bunch of hits Fine with me. Jackson will die with the walk. If he's getting the fastball over, we will always have a chance.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) Jeez, another hanger. Stop calling for it AJP! Exactly, this is on AJ. Fastball location has been great. No reason to let him hang these.

While we all know Ozzie can use Omar incorrectly, he is still an incredible defender, and makes an A+ utility infielder.

EPIC FAIL on the scouting report. Who throws Paulie a first pitch fastball?

Carlos baby.

Better stuff and repertoire? Sergio Santos circa 2010 Bobby Jenks circa 2005

The sad thing is, the odds are Vizquel will put better swings on the ball tonight than Beckham has recently.

Danks is awesome. Long-term him Kenny.

This team has potential. If Jones and Rios keep hitting, and Pierre, AJ, and Lexi improve to their standard, it will be an interesting year.

big win.
