Great game by Teahan and Jones. But my favorite today was Santos. I forgot who he was facing when he gave them three straight sliders that just looked vicious. Couldn't lay off, but couldn't come close to hitting it.
I can't quite put my finger on Jones. For about 3 swings in the Ab, he looks awful...actually it seems he doesn't take it seriously until he gets to 2 strikes, and then he puts some good swings on the ball.
And, yeah, I think we all see that our situational hitting is a lot better when there are a lot of opportunities. When you only have 2-3 a game and you don't convert, it sure looks worse than when you have 4-5 and convert 1-2 times.
As far as Peavy...for 2 starts now his location has been something awful. When he AJ sets him up outside, about 40% of the time I'd say it would be on the other side of the plate. He's also only hitting 89 consistently and had absolutely no offspeed stuff to speak of. I'm shocked he's not injured, but glad. I just hope it's mechanics or something he can fix.
