From Evan Grant:

Hernández now working on 5.1 scoreless IP stretch with 5 Ks

 

[saddles]

Duran's arm shows up again.

 

[Duane1952]

Awesome job by Hernandez.

 

[Duane1952]

Duran and Smith are about as good as any utility players we could ever have.

When Jung gets back. Duran should be the DH against left handed pitchers.

 

[DT LUNA]

When Jung gets back. Duran should be the DH against left handed pitchers.

Well we can only hope.

 

[Duane1952]

Well we can only hope.

I don’t have much hope it that happening as long as Grossman is here. Even though he should be starting over Grossman.

 

[DT LUNA]

Poor Robbie. So mistreated. lol

 

[Kelleyman]

Langford is now 4 for his last 14 with a double and a triple. With him also having a walk in that time, I think that works out to an .833 OPS.

Wyatt needs to swing the bat more especially the first pitch. Glad he got the single
That turned into a double

He is electric on the basepaths

 

[Duane1952]

Not going to win many games with 5 hits and no walks.

 

[saddles]

Foscue homered in Arizona tonight.

From Adam Morris:

Adolis’s swing rate on pitches outside of the zone has gone from 33.0% last year to 38.5% this year.

His contact rate on pitches outside of the zone has dropped from 58.5% to 50.9%.

 

[saddles]

Another great outing from Joseph Montalvo.

 

[saddles]

Seattle blew an 8-0 lead and lost to the Royals.

 

[Senator_fan]

Not going to win many games with 5 hits and no walks.

Or going down 1-2-3 in 7 of the innings. Awful.

From Adam Morris:

Adolis’s swing rate on pitches outside of the zone has gone from 33.0% last year to 38.5% this year.

His contact rate on pitches outside of the zone has dropped from 58.5% to 50.9%.

That part of his game drives me nuts. There are a number of times he should have walked instead of striking out. He has zero plate discipline. He's got to change that and make pitchers pitch to him.

SELL SELL SELL IF we can’t score off Spencer Howard lol

I bet he is begging to start

He actually has a good era. 2.08. Only thrown 8 innings though.

Jeff Wilson says Gray is available in the bullpen and if not needed will probably start Tuesday.
