JOEY FREAKING ORTIZ!

[Nola Beery]

Who is this Ortiz guy?!!

[yourout]

That will do.

[TURBO]

JOEY adding to Peralta's ERA with a bomb!

[yfinn6]

Poor Freddy, man. 

[liveforoctober]

Peralta's ERA over 5 now ..

[HarryDoyle]

What, he can't hit a grand slam?

Put it over 5 for the season.  I'm not sure I want him back, but I will defer to Chris Hook for all things pitching.

Pratt now hitting .271/,.360/.365.  If he does that for a whole season with his defense from the bottom third of the order he's like a 4 win player.

We should probably extend him

Yep. It should really come down to whether Hook thinks he can do anything with him.

[homer]

Joey has an 825 OPS in July (actually higher than that after today)

[RWeeksFan23]

Yea I said recently in the transactions forum I'd take Peralta back, but I changed my mind. 

The Cubs can trade for him for all I care at this point. He's a shell of his old self.

[Vgmastr]

Phillies up on the Dodgers 8-4 in the 7th.  If both scores hold the Brewers would move into the 1 seed and have the best record in baseball.

Do you buy into the theory that a position change affects your hitting?

Cubs have closed it to 4 to 3.

[wallus]

I'd still take Freddy back for a lotto ticket in a heartbeat

I don't. I'm sure it may have worked for some guys but I'd bet it didn't work for just as many.

[HarryDoyle]

I wish Jesse Winker was still a Met right about now.

[wallus]

I'd normally dismiss things like this but does Ortiz hit better playing 3rd base? Maybe he has less responsibilities and mentally it helps? 

[yourout]

Really interesting how our third base situation has evolved since spring training.

I don’t. I buy seeing your career be on the brink of becoming a utility infielder / bench player making something click. If I had to guess, he decided there’s nothing to lose, and put less pressure on himself and stopped pressing. 

[willie key]

Ortiz is having a comeback month.        Good lord

[Bulldogboy]

Mac looks great

Apparently, Joey O does

McCullers aiming for his first career save.
