Good work by Danks getting through those 2...I wouldn't give upton anything close to the plate here.
Agreed.

Didn't he used to be a big proponent of taking the first pitch? He's just trying to force things.
Just a sign that he's not comfortable up there.

I really believe the success of these picthers, youngsters especially, is when they can thrown first pitch strikes and get ahead.
You just described every pitcher, ever.

Does it seem to anyone else like our opponents are piling up the errors lately?
Definitely does. When we're actually good we seem to get some of these breaks. Lets make 'em pay!

Ryan Sweeney has that nice lookings .293 average and .353 on base percentage.
I wonder if he will develope any power..... Slugging just barely over .400
I kind of doubt it at this point. We've been waiting for him to develop power for a while and it just hasn't happened(and yes I know he's still very young). He'll be a solid player but nothing special imo.

IIRC, there was a period in 2005 when Uribe was actually leading the league in sac flies.
And he was definitely at his best in the super utility role in 04.
