According to ESPN Gamecast, Matusz is really getting squeezed. There were 3 balls to Quentin that were in the zone.

Do you think that if he starts hitting more home runs, pitchers will start to be more careful with him so he will start walking more (or at all)?

Rarely do you see line drives being a bad thing. In that case, the line drive cost Dayan a home run.

Gamecast is crazy inaccurate.

...my god Andruw.

Andruw not really the kind of batter I like on my side.

And Jones almost falls

Hey Andruw, don't break your back swinging...okay?

 

And maybe you can think opposite field once in a while.

Matusz did get rough treatment from the ump there. Should've ended a few pitches earlier on called strike 3

man, is this a split squad game? Jones, Viciedo and Lillibridge?

So what are the chances Jones is odd man out when/if we add a bat?

 

Kotsay can PH. Lillibridge can be CF. Teahan the corner spots.

Matusz is left handed.

None really. His occasional home run and his defense are actually quite valuable off the bench.

Cancel the post game show.

Matusz is left handed.

 

And yet AJ has to play...

And yet AJ is still in there with his .195 average against LHP

I'm sure Ozzie has his reasons. It's most likely his "gut" feeling...

Bounced that one way to early

I like the way Hawk is calling every fly ball a hang whiff em

 

That lillibridge one wasn't exactly a line shot

That's what I would call a fliner.

Haha at Quentin and Pierre HBPs.

I don't think Pierre has been hit hard all season though. Carlos has actually gotten hurt from those.

 

A lot of Pierre's HBPs are the product of his big jersey.

It's a good thing Alex is hitting again.
