Spencer Howard
RHP
0-0, 2.08 ERA, 7 SO

I'd really like to see Howard do well. He's going up against Heaney who is a lot better than his numbers suggest.

Yaz sits in favor of Slater with a lefty going. Bales gets a rest, Fitz in for Wise.

I love the fact that Ramos is finally getting a chance and is capitalizing on it.

Amazing how different these hitters look away from PacBell...park effects are real lol

 

[msgkings322]

This guy comes up and Kuiper goes "here comes the beef" lol

 

[msgkings322]

Nice SDI

 

[msgkings322]

Yikes awful AB from Conforto

The Soler shitty AB that followed was expected lol

 

[msgkings322]

7 pitch inning for Heaney

 

[msgkings322]

Howard with the outstanding spot start

 

[msgkings322]

Oh boy Soler coming up with men on base...gotta be another FPOM lol

 

[msgkings322]

Soler is just completely broken right now. I think it's time to give him a break in the minors, let him get his swing back with bad pitchers for a while with no pressure

Soler

So far, 7 games in June, only 2 RBI, and one of those was a solo homer.

He is hitting .320 in June, so that helps, I suppose. Just seems completely and totally lost at the plate with runners on base.

 

[Stokes1931]

Batters 5-9

0-12 with 4 K's

I’m beginning to believe Ramos is here to stay.

I saw Ramos at the Arizona Fall League a few years ago. He looked like a good athlete with all the tools, just needed to put it all together. He looked pretty raw in the Fall League, and did not do very well at the plate, as I recall. But his corner defense and arm were fantastic.
