Somebody better give Gross directions to second base.

[BrewCrewForever]

Way to swing at the first pitch Estra.....I mean Rivera.

[RyDogg66]

52 AB's and counting for Prince.

Morbid curiosity makes we want to see him go until 152, at least.

 

[SeriesFinale]

Can McClung hold for a third...I see rough waters ahead mateys

[sheethead]

How many more ABs until the team BA is below the Mendoza line? Before they get home?

[Klements Bratwurst]

Does anyone recall a total team funk as bad as this last year? I mean nobody is hitting at all. Nobody, save Counsell....

[PrinceFielder28]

Parra only hitting mid to upper 80's...does he always pitch that slow?

[Raw Biz]

I'm going to Cincy for the game's Saturday and Sunday and if Kyle Lohse is dominating, I have a feeling I'm going to witness history with back to back perfect games by Cueto and Harang.

Well Kapler was hitting but couldn't stay clear of the wall in warmups. Gwynn was hitting too, before he was DL'd for 15 days, 10 of which he's been perfectly healthy.

[PrinceFielder28]

nice brush pujols back

[brains and braun]

I am shocked to learn that Miguel Tejada is older than reported.

[GormanHarvey]

In a related story, Danny Almonte is actually Tejada's son

[BrewCrewForever]

And McClung escapes.

[PrinceFielder28]

Again counsell...now can someone else actually get a hit.

[BrewCrewForever]

Well benching Hall for Counsell today seemed to be a good move by Ned. And we have a run!

[brains and braun]

This is the story of the Hurricane....

[moofnelson]

Does Counsell play 2nd base? He would look good there every day.

[Paulus88]

hurricane warning

[SeriesFinale]

Hurricane! You got clout!

[BrewCrewForever]

Does Counsell play 2nd base? He would look good there every day.

Yes he does and has played 2B. As a matter of fact I believe he was the 2B on that 97' Marlins World Championship team.

 

[sargennm]

Nice! So is Hurrican's long-term future as a 4th or 5th outfielder or is there more of a ceiling there?

[GormanHarvey]

Apparently the only way you can hit is if you are not in the everday line-up keeping you from being infected by the funk

Sure hasn't helped Gross. Gwynn and Kapler were doing fine in their halves of the platoon.

[sheethead]

Craig and Hernan? The so-called mashers in this lineup need to take notice.

[True CryM]

The Hurricane can play 2nd...
