it's possible that you don't like fontenot because you're completely negative about everything, but you also could've fallen into the trap that so many people on this board fell into - they see a little white guy who's been in the minors for a while and think "there's no way this guy can play" or "lolololol grit." his minor league line of .291/.366/.437/.803 suggests the ability to get on base and provide a little pop. his median pecota projection for this year was .278/.353/.424/.777 - not great for a regular starter, but plenty good for a spot starter who can play either middle infield position. he's been better than expected, but even at his expected level of production, he would've been a useful part of the team. and please everyone, let's start to understand that bat speed has just as much to do with power as size does. hanley ramirez is another good example of this.

yeah i was thinking the same thing... yeah, ward has a better reputation, but fontenot had a 1.203 OPS and something like a .460 or .470 OBP in july coming into today's game. personally, i'd have rather pitched to ward than fontenot, although the pitcher would've had to pitch to ward with a 2-0 count.

if you'd told me before the season that samardzija would be acting as the primary setup man in a close game in late july, i would have vomited or punched you in the face.

boy if theriot was looking changeup, that was the biggest meatball ever. but obviously he was sitting FB.

cue circus music

nice play, moron
-
fontenot has a .913 ops :shock: :shock: :shock:

fontenot fools another outfielder with his little-man power!
-
chuck another one to the backstop
-
great game, jim
-
hey look, a pitcher who's not constantly putting himself in jams by falling behind every hitter! and coincidentally he gets outs!
-
great, foul ball by inches and of course the next one is a GIDP turned perfectly by two lousy fielders.

cedeno would've turned two
-
oh no marquis is in, need videos to counteract his suckiness
-
they lead the league in errors errors this series = 0 they've also made some really nice plays in this series. good to see uggla can field ground balls when he's playing against the cubs though.
-
the marlins have been bad defensively? where was that in this series?
-
someone please get on base... i don't want a 1-2-3 inning because then marquis would be the next to bat, and lou will be tempted to leave him in for another inning.
-
only a single for braun? he must be slumping again.
-
we need to get back to posting youtube videos, things were going better when we did that.

i'm glad you're proud of that.
