Hell just froze over.

 

He's was drawing walks just fine until Dusty got ahold of him.

 

The difference between his AVG and OBP has never been Neifi-like, but that's not saying much.

Haven't you heard, Neifi is a new man this year...

 

Neifi's spring BA: .344

Neifi's spring OBP: .476

I can only do one more half inning of PBP. I hope someone else can take over for the bottom of the 6th.

This may sound dumb, and I know I'm late, but how does Soriano not score from first on a double with two outs? Not trying to be a pessimist or anything. I'm just curious.

The broadcaster sounded like the ball was misplayed. It went over the defender's head so Sori probably thought it was going to be caught.

The difference between his AVG and OBP has never been Neifi-like, but that's not saying much.

 

Only 22 qualified batters saw fewer pitches per plate appearance than Ronny last year, including notorious freeswingers Vlad Guerrero and Jeff Francoeur. That couldn't have been all Dusty.

 

Ronny's a weird player right now, but I think he will end up being a useful bench player.

 

There aren't too many SS in the NL who can get on base at a decent clip. Ronny is fully capable of being in the upper half of NL SS in the OBP department.

 

I have great hopes for Ronny's defense becoming more consistent under Trammell's guidance. He's certainly got the God given abilities to be a top tier defensive SS.
