....when Santo sings the stretch? Random question, I know, but a few co-workers and myself were trying to figure this out the other day and our answers were all over the place. Anyone know what the number actually is or where I could look up such a meaningless stat?
Couldn't agree more. I was thrilled that he got that bouncing dribbler through the gap, but it was a miracle he did. The man looks like a wreck at the plate.
I wouldn't say it was lost in the shuffle. It's a shame he won't win though. I was furious after that 1st inning but he really locked it down after that and stretched out a good start. Got Bonds looking with an especially sweet k, too!
I hope we make the playoffs just so Marquis' awfulness can truly be appreciated on a grand scale once more. It's a miracle we only gave up 1 there. Hopefully everyone gives Marquis the Full Metal Jacket soaping for walking the first 2 batters of the damn game of one of the worst teams in baseball.
They are an average team when Barry is playing. The rest of their offense isn't all that special. Yeah, but sometimes the teams that are way out of it are some of the most "dangerous." They can get into a groove for a stretch towards the end and cause havoc when they play contending teams, like those damn Reds just did to us and the Brewers. Hopefully the Cubs can cool them off.
ownership doesn't/shouldn't affect how the core group performs Then if this the core group, no. Too streaky. I feel that further acquisitions are needed to make this a truly impressive team with some longevity.
