[Mays-Fan]

Rally cap time in Miami...

...and the leadoff batter is on with a double.

 

[GiantsPackersChamps2011]

Rough start but fortunately the G's are facing Kyle Kendrick, arguably the worst PS in baseball

I'm getting effing TIRED of this first inning bullshit.

Good article, though a little on the wonkish side, about Duffman.

Meh, Arenado can play. Let's hope his hermanito is as good.

Nice jinx. Colin would be proud.

Big brother is a legit All-Star at the plate and in the field. Little brother doing well in Augusta.

Oh. Sorry the worst team in baseball sans Stanton couldn't rally against the best reliever in baseball.

My bad.

Got a long ways to go. OPS of .679 is nothing to get excited about. But he just turned 20.

Great share Stokes.

Remarkable how similar his numbers to Carpenter are.

 

[Stokes1931]

Duffman and Posey come through again.

Duffman seems to like hitting in the 3 spot. Hitting .391 batting 3rd (SSS).

As Mays said, it is still early as the kid is only 20. But my main concern at this point is his defense. As of a couple days ago, he already had 17 errors on the year.

Yeah, the comparison is striking. SSS yet, but this seems to bode well for the young man.

He's hit at every level except AAA, because, well, he was never in AAA. Jumped right from Richmond. Anyone who can hit .332 in Richmond can flat out hit.

And how many GIDP?

Apparently Posey pulled him aside after his first couple games in which he struggled and told him that he had earned the #3 spot and to just do what got him there. Since, Duffy has shown that he belongs there.

 

[Mays-Fan]

I'd say something nice but I don't want to be accused of jinxing anyone.

Or, I guess, maybe I just did.

Jinxthought.

 

[calsnowskier]

8, a bit high, but nothing to be overly concerned with.

You could have looked that up, so I suspect I am a bit of a here, though...
