Clay's curveball is looking nasty so far. Also throwing inside to Mookie is just a terrible idea. Left handers throwing a fastball inside to Mookie is an imbicilic idea. The guy creams left handers.

With Napoli our lineup would be borderline unfair. Only in today's baseball. Remember when Kevin Millar was OPSing .850 as our 6th best hitter (something like that)? Yeah haha. That was when bats were bigger and walks were "worthless"

This is the potential we all knew Buchholz had. It's the consistency and health that is the real worry. I will continue to be optimistic.

Yeah I'll expect him to lose himself at some point and won't expect more than 175 IP. He's just not a horse that you can ride the whole year. Maybe this year is an outlier though.

Well this is more like it. Betts and Pedroia were doing a crappy job as table-setters.
Well heck, if that's what our 3/4 hitters are going to do, keep hitting HR.

The team BABIP is terrible! I think you meant to point out that we are batting .000 with RISP. The truest of the three true outcomes. Coming to you from the great northwest

Comcast just presented their defensive plays of the day. Both of them were by Pedroia (3rd inning and 7th inning).

I would gladly throw down a pay-per-view fee to get an unedited stream of Pedroia's dugout chatter after both HRs.

a HR is not a BABIP? so we still have a BABIP problem?

And now the Phillies have trotted out another left-handed reliever. It's as if they'd never heard of this "platoon advantage" thing.
