Can Soto please get started already?

 

bad luck.

looks like Quade was right in regards to Barney and Soto. Looks like Soto is only good in even years.

He hit two balls hard that happened to be right at guys. You can't ask for much more.

apparently quade knew that was going to happen.

Man, this game thread is pretty dead for a 4-run lead. What has happened to this place?

Seriously. I can't remember the last time I've seen someone hit stuff hard but right at people this much.

Well he needs to get better at aiming.

I was joking.

In other news, Sam Fuld is a single away from hitting for a cycle

Wasn't that pretty much his 2009?

CSN+ makes it tough.

[ctcf]

Pretty respectable line from Demps so far. Digging all the K's. Hopefully he can go at least 7 in preparation for tomorrow's experiment.

Good. I always liked Fuld. Just not as a starter on the Cubs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Ball 6. Ball 8. Ball 12.

[Yeti]

this ab is funny

[tfarks]

anticlimatic though

[tfarks]

Who knew Darwin Barney was an unstoppable on base machine?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Why would you bother taking the bat off your shoulder against this guy?

[Guest]

I think Barney now leads our regulars in OPS.

[Guest]

I didn't know it was possible to walk Darwin Barney twice in a game.

[TruffleShuffle]

if barney could start walking he'd actually be a passable starter. though the walks would probably evaporate once pitchers realize he can't do much more than hit singles.

Baker is ahead of him if you count him but otherwise you are right.

Hey, its lead to a 5+ year career for Ryan Theriot.

worked for mark grace for 15 years, of course it helped that he was a gold glover

[ctcf]

Damn you, Chris Johnson.
