StopperSong at the Halos Summer Solstice

Hard to believe this is the same Riot fans wanted to bifurcate less than two weeks ago.

Ok Lead off walk, rally time.



rats runner erased


Weaver is dealing

That was a bummer, I hate caught stealings.....Melky looked like he just got under that one a bit.

 

[mistgl]

the slump check list

Posey - check
Blanco - check
Panda - check
Crawford - don't think this ever gets unchecked
Arias - check

It seems like one of Belt, Melky, or Riot get on, and the next 2 batters just shit the bed.

Crawford - don't think this ever gets unchecked

To be fair Crawford's line must be getting pretty close to what most of us were hoping for/expecting preseason - the error rate on the other hand!!!

I think with recent games it's a little unfair to put Craw and Arias on there. They are bad hitters in general, but they've had decent games over the last couple.....which for them is a hot streak.

Posey, Pablo and Pagan have no excuses though. They've all been rally killers.

BTW, I love Vogelsong. The guy is a battler and a stud.

True, He'll probably finish this season .230/.290-.300

For what they're paying him, and if the D levels out, that ain't the end of the world.

Pull-happy-Pablo. Cmon boys, let's try and opposite field approach. Wow, Belt is just locked in

It would be nice to get Weaver out as soon as possible.

What is Vogelsong? Obviously it doesn't matter to us, but I'm just curious as to what the world at large sees him as. Is he a number 2, 2-3, 3-4, 5?

I don't think you can argue with his results, and he's close to being this consistent for at least 200 innings.

 

[1phlapdown]

Two on for Craw!

 

[mistgl]

Fishman with a double....

Has to be a 2-3 and if he stays under 3 ERA for the season a solid 2 - guy is just so tough and consistent - I think I have him above Madbum in a must win game right now!

 

[mistgl]

Damn, fish, way to dig yourself a hole

 

[mistgl]

Is it sad that I have more faith in Fish than I do Blanco atm?

 

[1phlapdown]

Fishman with a double....

Good try

 

[filosofy29]

lol, Miller, you brought a lot more excitement than there needed to be on the bloop by Craw. That was handled pretty easily.

 

[mistgl]

Song is actually hanging with Weaver pitch for pitch. Even with the solo shot, which is fine, i don't expect a shutout every game.

 

[gp956]

Posey hurt?

 

[mistgl]

Shit, I jinxed Vsong

 

[filosofy29]

Fuck, bad luck there for Song and Crawfish. Damn, Melky almost had him, Buster couldn't hold on (and it hits him in the nuts).....Speed kills.
