I still don't have a lot of confidence in Vargas because he kept falling behind in the count. Tonight he walked the tightrope and survived. I am not sure why. Other nights he won't survive.

[sheethead]

but to bail on Hall after less than 200 AB isn't fair.

 

Please don't get me wrong, I am not bailing on Hall. Just stating that I am no longer excited when his turn to hit comes around. That can always change again of course, just currently as it sits, I am not expecting much. Nothing I said should have been construed as me bailing on the guy.

[Kpanz20]

They realllllllyy need to score prince here. Come on johnny...

[adambr2]

Someday, Prince is probably going to make a very good DH on the Yankees or Red Sox. So let's enjoy this for the next 4 1/2 years.

[LUKE232323]

Well Billy, it's time to get out of your funk with a big time bomb.

[sheethead]

I like how the Marlins think Jenkins should be batting 5th, but Ned still doesn't see it. *sigh*

[adambr2]

Well, for those who want to see Bill Hall finally come through with a clutch hit -- here's his chance. I'm thinking strikeout, but I hope I'm wrong.

[PeaveyFury]

If you wait long enough, Obermueller will give you runs.

[madjeff66]

You can't PR for Prince there, but speed on 2nd likely makes 3rd on that fly ball.

[sheethead]

here's his chance. I'm thinking strikeout, but I hope I'm wrong.

 

I'm thinking fly out to center. Also hope I am wrong.

Gotta take the bad with the good, I guess, I'm sure Nedly would get plenty of hate-mail if he PR's for Prince there.

Cmon Billy for BILLHALLFANS sanity!

[logan82]

Maybe we should bat Estrada in front of Hall so he gets some walks. I swear most of the IBB this year are to the guy in front of Hall.

[rluzinski]

everyone should complain about Hall and say he's anti-clutch.

 

Just stating that I am no longer excited when his turn to hit comes around.

 

Fair enough.

[LUKE232323]

Unreal. This will be one frustrating loss if we do lose it.

[Kpanz20]

Bill Hall doesn't rarely ground out? Thanks Schroeder

[sheethead]

Well at least Anderson said that it's going to be tough to double up Billy Hall 30 seconds before it was really easy to double up Billy Hall (or maybe it was Schroeder, I can't tell them apart anymore).

[adambr2]

Well, either of our predictions would have been better than that.

 

I remember a better day when Hall used to be a clutch hitter.

I absolutely cannot STAND the way he still tries to pull everything. They're not going to pitch inside to you, Bill, You can take the ball the other way. You've shown that before. For the love of God.

[bobskube]

Hall continues to be a goat this year.

 

Sorry BillHallFan, but it is true. Two big hits for us-Grand slam against Reds and pinch single against Capps-otherwise he has been worthless and has killed us in the field.

 

Estrada shares some blame too for not getting runner over. Would have changed everything in that AB.

[augie46]

This is Butch Wynegar's fault

[bucksman4]

Hall hit a few balls on the screws tonight. Just a disheartening time to ground into a DP there. Wes sure impressed me tonight. A lot of ground-into-DP outs for him tonight.

[DHonks]

Billy Hall has hit two smashes to CF tonight. Usually he finds success when he starts going to Right-center

[lumberrule]

This team simply cant manufacture runs. Its that simple. If JJ or Prince aren't driving them in, this team doesnt score. Period.

[rluzinski]

Unreal. This will be one frustrating loss if we do lose it.

 

I bet Marlin fans are thinking the same thing.

[packfan79]

Atleast SD has come back to tie the Pirates. That inning sucks why can we manufacture a run.
