at least he runs into one every few days.

Yep. Send down Vaughn just let Elko figure it out.

Vaughn loves swinging at high fastballs with two strikes.

It's a joke it took so long to get Elko up. he's playable whereas Vaughn is not.

A lot of people figured he'd have a chance to hit but turning into an elite defensive catcher while hitting his 90th percentile offensive projection is crazy. I mean it happens, scouting is imperfect, but personally just as a baseball fan never figured it would be him, even after a strong rookie season.

Yeah I assumed his defense was going to be terrible as well due probably the same projections. I at least thought he'd be C/1b/DH type with a lot of dingers. Instead he might be the most underrated player in baseball because he's gold glove tier at catcher now. Then again catchers implode.

it's because he gears up with his slow ass swing and is just up there guessing.

SACKS PACKED WITH TWO OUT OF THREE NON-SEAMEN 

Way to go Chase

it seems like every pitcher somehow magically paints the corner on meidroth's patience to get up 0-1 on him

and it doesn't matter anyways

Meidroth is just a smart hitter. We haven't had one of those in a long time.

SOX UP SEAMEN DOWN

I don't know what you're saying but hell yeah dude! 

That's what I'm saying !! LFG !!

Vargas was sitting on offspeed that at-bat. Not his best AB.

That was  a beatiful piece of hitting by Meidroth.

Miguel has to make contact there though. As much as we loved him last week he can't just K there with 1 out.

You knew the slump was coming off of the POTW

Put Palacios back into 3 spot

Thaiss had a pitch to hit there.

feels like a bizarre time to complain but I think we needed that run. 

I have missed having hit tool ready MLB players more than I possibly realized. Just having Quero and Meidroth is good for a couple extra hits a week with RISP.

What the HELL was that Taylor

WHAT THE TAYLOR 

ALSO WHAT IS A LEAD OFF DOUBLE TO YOU SCHRIFFEN YOU MORON  

that's a single and an error.

LOL

of course it was ruled e 7 you clueless dope schriffen.
