Ender has been my least favorite every day player all season. he routinely has terrible AB's.

He's been awful this year. Whatever changes he made between last season and this season, he needs to undo ASAP.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Ender's defense is too good to take him out of the lineup, but he's been a liability on offense this year. He doesn't walk, he doesn't get hits, he doesn't work the count and doesn't really do anything you need a leadoff hitter to do. He was so good last year, I'm just wondering what the hell happened.

If he could be 3/4 the hitter he was last year from here on out it would be like making a trade.

the most exciting thing about our hot start to the season was that Ender was shit during it, so I figured we may really have something once he turns it on

he's never turned it on, and has just sucked at the plate this year

 

[Chewbaccer]

Which is sad because he was so exciting at the plate last year.

He either strikes out or rolls over a groundball to first or second this year. Such a shame.

I'll take it Julio. Good Job tonight.

Absolutely. I mean, at least Dansby will take a walk every now and then and is one of the most clutch hitters on the team even if he doesn't do anything with the bases empty or early in the game.

6 innings of 1 run ball. I'll gladly take that from Julio every start. He's pitched more than well enough to win tonight. Shame the offense hasn't been here for him.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice Ozzie.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Dammit Freddie...that was nowhere close.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Freddie swung at ball 4....twice.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Steal 3rd Ozzie.

 

[Mistaken4193]

More Bad luck.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Come On Kurt.

 

[Mistaken4193]

KURT!!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

KURT!!!

Markakis was robbed. Nice to get the run in finally.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Blue Jays third baseman bailed us out that this inning. Ozzie's bunt was going foul.

 

[Chewbaccer]

And at any rate, I'm just glad we finally had some solid contact. Markakis smoked that ball, but was a victim of bad luck.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Snit...let him finish!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Well, Julio keeps up his alternating GoodStart/BadStart streak.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Why not let him finish the inning? This is probably his last start before the All Star Break, let him go. I'll never be in favor of pulling a pitcher who is rolling mid inning.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Snit just can't help himself.
