I remember the days when this board would lose itself over a BJax RBI triple. :(

Speaking of BJax, why does he get less playing time in the OF than Vitters? Is he really that much less of a "prospect" than Vitters at this point?

 

I don't have the hitting #'s but when you see them, they are not pretty.

Other than last year, BJax has out OPSed Vitters at every level. Actually, 2012 too, but not by much. Plus, he's a better defender than Vitters.

 

They both suck but Jackson is a year older and doing a little worse this year. But it doesn't really matter. Because as I said, they both suck.

Agree both suck, but it still doesn't justify the discrepancy in playing time IMO.

The simple answer may be that they feel like there's more hope (however little that may be) left for Vitters than Jackson. I would probably agree.

Bryant's K rate is under 30% after that first game of the DH.

Vitters doesn't have the incredibly damning contact issues.

 

If he could actually pay a position, I think he'd still be a prospect.

If he was a quality shortstop.

Vitters' contact rate isn't really much better than Jackson's

Which is confusing because his donger is a double.

Rivero continues to be absurd. 1 inning, 1 hit, 3 K's

[ScrubMD]

Eloy Jimenez finally playing, and he gets a 2B in his first AB.

I'm envisioning peak Marmol from him.

I love the Boise lineup, there's like three catchers in it.

[TruffleShuffle]

two walks for baez :shock:

[rawaction]

Bryant up with a chance to walk off.

[CubInOK]

I saw in play, run(s) for Bryant and was disappointed it was only a single.

[rawaction]

Meh. Only a single to put the tying run in scoring position.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Zak Hermans?

[TruffleShuffle]

Bryant up with a chance to walk off.

[imb]

Is this the best walk rate of Baez's career?

[TruffleShuffle]
