8-5 good guys.

Good to see Slater back in the lineup.

Good to see Slater back in the lineup.

I don’t know why he is back. When he wasn’t playing, he didn’t have a single hit. How does that show he should be playing?

Sounds like needs to go to that alternate training site to show he can handle big league pitching.

He's hitting over .300 and he homered ...

Its an old joke from years of talk from the previous regime about how rookies needed to prove themselves before they could get regular playing time. It would make no sense to say that about a guy who couldn't get the chance to actually prove himself.
Slater needs to be in the lineup a lot more than he is put there. Why Pence gets more playing time than Slater is beyond me. The presence of Steven Duggar is the only thing that keeps Pence from being the worst bat on the roster.

Told ya these guys could hit a little

Still not a good team but that's not expected for a bit. I just wonder if Yaz and Solano will still be around (and good) when we are good again.

By the way you guys know about Hammer's new site, right? Just in case something happens to this one.

What's going on with this site?

Whoops, didn't see that Duggar was optioned yesterday. Now Pence is officially the worst bat on the team (unless you count pitchers, when they are not allowed to hit any longer).
The irony of this statement is rich: "Hunter Pence and Darin Ruf started at the corner outfield spots against Sandoval, but they are known more for their bats than for their defense."

Anyone check out the name of the losing pitcher for the Angels?

Nice of "P. Sandoval" to hand us one

 

[msgkings322]

Is that where you've disappeared to?

No I'm here still too, but mostly on the NBA board (playoffs) and the PF

 

[msgkings322]

I fear the NN over there....

He's still here though. And no one invited him over there

Probably no need but it's there if anything happens to this place

Besides, he's nothing to fear he's a totally defeated troll. And you can always block him.

I see where your allegiances lie . . .

I'm polyamorous

Not sure I am interested in a site run by hammer. But if it is good, I can put my personal feelings aside...

 

[calsnowskier]

How could hammer do this, legally? He sold the site to Shaggy. Now Hammer is opening a competitive site with a very similar name and sniping many of the memberbase?

Sounds fishy.
