Why would you even bother to steal third base with nobody out?

Rios' hands are moved back up.

They're still lower than they were last year, just not as low as they were early on in the year.

Not as low as they were, like, yesterday.

Yeah, he hasn't looked the same recently, although he has still been rocking the RBI singles when Pierre has been on base.

Hmm, I guess he changed again.

By the descriptions on yahoo...looks like Freddy is lucky Comerica is a big ballpark. Anyone see those flyouts?

That one by boesch leaves several ballparks.

No Dp Kotsay.

Kotsay got a hit!!

He's getting one weak hit a day now. Guess that's better than nothing.

Maybe he should try to become a slap hitter...then Ozzie would love him even more! If that is possible.

I think you meant Damon?

Actually I mean Peralta, who's hitting after him in the order. Peralta's went farther than Damon's. I just misremembered who was up.

I know Ramon has been really hot, but to bat him above Beckham is ridiculous- I still would rather have Beckham up in that situation with 2 men on, not Ramon, as hot as he has been. This 9 hole for GB has got to go...

Back to back 2 out walks is not a good thing.

I know that Tampa's offense sucks, but if Baker and Slowey pitched like they have of late with Pavano, Liriano and Duensing, they are going to be pretty hard to beat with the offense that they have. Especially when Morneau gets back.

Base hit for GB. Would be up 1-0 right now if Ozzie batted him 8th! Really, this whole 9 hole has got to stop...he is clearly out of his slump

JC, what time is it where you are?

1/3 on steals today for Pierre.

Why or why does Ozzie continue to bunt with a speed guy on first? IMO it is a waste of an out. I rather have a hit and run every time esp. With Pierre we know he can make contact and foul balls off.

 

 

And now he sends Pierre back to back times. Wow

Great job Pierre, fail to bunt him over than get caught stealing yourself, just lucky Kotsay is on team to take the bulk of critism

Pierre probably steals whenever he wants. I highly doubt they give him a steal sign.

I don't like Rios moving his hands at this point in the season.
