QUOTE (iamshack @ May 16, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) What is he hitting with men in scoring position though? Seems like he's the rallykiller quite often. It's .361 with RISP. He's only hitting around .230 in those situations, so he's not getting a ton of hits to drive runs in.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 16, 2015 -> 11:03 PM) So LaRoche is going to start hitting in July or so, right? .370 OBP. If this is him in a slump, I'll take it. He's always been a second half hitter.

No need to provoke s*** by hitting guys on purpose to make a statement. The series is almost over. Get over it. Nobody's hurt.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:59 PM) Has been for about last 10 days. Needs to spot it well in the 9th. Seems like that cutter is about 1 MPH off from what it was before.

Ow, that got Jose right on the knee cap. Or maybe just above it on the thigh.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:58 PM) What are they showing on the Chicago broadcast? The Oakland gun was showing him at 90, but it was also only showing Danksy around 86-88, so I figured it might be a bit on the slow side. He was at 90 and 91 on the two that I saw.

Robertson's fastball velocity seemed a bit low in that sequence to Lowrie.

Robertson got away with a hanger.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:49 PM) Duke, Jennings and Petricka need to get better Duke's going through a really bad stretch right now. He looked great to start the season.

Here comes Robocop.

Do you go to Robertson now?

That ball looked like a routine grounder.

Binged Sherlock the past 3 days. I don't think I've ever seen a TV show that only has 3 episodes per season and each episode is the length of a movie. It's odd for me, since I usually don't watch British TV. Great show though. The writers do a great job of creating mystery and intrigue.

Take Duke out.

Sanchez can't hit, but he's got a hell of a glove!

Duke should get to face the lefty and then bring in a righty for Butler.

Here comes trouble. Duke looked shaky last night and he's shaky again tonight.

Damn Sanchez!

I just noticed how awful Duke's peripherals are this year. He's got a FIP around 4 and a half.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) This site was obsessed about acquiring him for quite a few years Chavez was still an effective platoon player when he retired.

Tyler strikes out on a high fastball...what new? That hitch in his swing is always going to limit his ability to hit high pitches. Just like Gordon.

Would be nice to get 2 more so we don't need to use Robertson tonight.

Alexei finally gets a hit on a GB to third.

It's pretty clear Garcia can be one hell of a hitter. He's just got to develop the patience to get good pitches to hit. He's still not selective enough and doesn't lift the ball enough. There's a reason they called him little Miggy in Detroit. He's got that type of potential if he figures it out.

You can't get Avi out right now.
