Oh, and I don't feel safe when a grounder is hit either.

 

Really, Alexei? Really?

This is bad matchup for Thornton.

Anyone else think maybe next year we should move Alexei to left or right field?

So basically, once the ball gets past the pitcher, all hell breaks loose on defense. That's comforting.

I hope like hell Ozzie gets sick of watching Alexei at SS... I don't see how he can't but it seems he isn't.

I've seen enough of that clown at shortstop.

 

Agree!

 

Good job Matt. And that's two catches in a row for JD, good job there too.

This is bad matchup for Thornton.

 

You know what's a really bad matchup? Ramirez versus a ground ball.

He can't play defense anywhere. He's Soriano-lite.

No such thing.

I think it's a safe assumption that Wise clears waivers if we DFA him.

 

Ya but if he has not played and they can do it retroactivley, why not. he can go to AAA and play for a week as a "rehab" then come up with more AB's and be fresh.......the Red Sox could take him over Anderson....

Maybe we should move Alexei back to 2B, I liked him there last year.

True, but his defense wouldn't kill us so much in a corner.

Beckham seems like he's having a hard time picking up Bannister. See if he can poke one into right field.

Thornton had a good sequence with Butler. He didn't play to his strengths.

Nope.

Whoda thought Gordon Beckham would be no match for Brian Bannister?

Terrible AB by Beckham right there.

Slayer of the Slayer. Not cool.

Beckham... he is human after all lol

This team is getting great at hitting the long foul ball....not sure what that means.

If the field was wider, we'd be really good?

Bannister's hung so many of those.

 

We've only hit one of 'em out...
