Couldn’t touch the slider so you throw him a fastball in a completely different tunnel…

I love getting a break from the doomers.

Sosa should get the starting 2B spot until Colson is ready. Then Sosa becomes the super utility guy, or goes down to AAA if he can't fix some of his underlying issues.

Don't you besmirch the good name of Top Notch

Damn came here to post this. You guys are quick.

Not sure why the pitcher even gave himself a chance to throw the ball in the strike zone.

I'll take a split and a blown chance to win 3 of 4

NEVER MIND

Elko is WAY too swing happy

Good bunt. Was hoping he'd rush it and throw it away after checking 3B and 2B.

Bunt and a sac fly time

Rough strike zone. Yeesh.

Glad to see they're fighting back

Vaughn: .273/.333/.424 - .758 OPS Elko: can't find milb splits, but he stunk after being sent back down for a bit and had been turning it back on lately Montgomery: Stunk, went down to Arizona to get fixed, came back and was hammering the ball, had a couple bad games after that, then got hurt (hit by a pitch on his knee)

Him not getting the call over Elko here is very telling

Hays is on the IL, so we wouldn't have avoided the injury bug with him, either. Thank goodness Palacios shouldn't be playing very much anymore.

I'm on the "Blame Hahn/KW/JR (blame pending for Getz)" bandwagon.

Tauchman with that hefty 192 OPS+ and 0.8 bWAR in only 14 games. Slater not far behind with 0.4 WAR and a 155 OPS+ in 17 games. I'm sure if they weren't injured and had more at-bats those numbers would normalize a bit, but so far 1.2 bWAR in 31 games for an outfield platoon is LIGHT YEARS better than what we had before, injuries or not.

Frankly, I'm encouraged to even see players doing well consistently in the minors. We barely even had that for decades.

I think we all do, especially on the hitting side. That may be changing, but we'll see.

Leasure is painful to watch

I like Slater Also this Tigers reliever sucks

Meidroth not much of a baserunner

Taylor still sucks. But that was NICE.
