    Oh look at Darwin Barney South dominating us.
  2. Gilby
    I gotta figure they want him to cut down the K a bit more before he gets promoted. ya, no. He's destroying AA pitching, why would they want him to change his approach? Look as long as he'd playing good defense in CF and OPSing close to .900 why mess with success? Because he's just like Brett [expletive] Jackson? Who hit .260 in AA. In his defense, he put up a .276/.366/.465/.831 line his first go-around in AA. He's clearly not as good as Bryant, but I think a lot of people are forgetting how good he was at his peak as a prospect and how he was also supposed to be the type of player who could be good despite a high K rate. He also struck out less at that level than Bryant is now and pitchers had their way with him at higher levels. The moral is it's at least a little concerning how much Bryant K's; that is all. Dudes generally don't strike out at a ~28% clip at AA and turn out to be stars unless they're Giancarlo Stanton. Fortunately, both Javy and Bryant might be the most similar things to Giancarlo in the minors.

    Lake will find a way to swing through anything. That first pitch was 87 mph down the middle.

    Today is a good day. OPS up to .981 and counting. wake me up when it's back to where it belongs, over 1, [expletive]. Or when his K% gets below 25%. It just eked over 28.

    Why is Rivero still in Double-A? Not only is he absolutely dominating, he's also 26 years old.
  7. Gilby
    Only 8 pitches. Nice.
  8. Gilby
    It's so much easier to watch when your closer throws strikes. Giving up two quick hits, I didn't even have time to get nervous like I would've been with two walks.
  9. Gilby
    Neil's velocity seemed to be down a bit that first AB.
  10. Gilby
    Many whiffs, two hits for Junior so far.
  11. Gilby
    Nice play by Olt and Rizzo.
  12. Gilby
    It's really shocking how few K's he normally gets. His curveball and cutter/slider have electric movement.
  13. Gilby
    Starlin's hit like 3 balls off the wall the last few games.

    I fully expect Rizzo to still be our best hitter. Baez and Bryant aren't going to post above average rates in both walks and strikeouts to go along with their power like Rizzo can.
  15. Gilby
    Baez flied out to the warning track in CF his 2nd AB. Bryant K'd in his most recent AB.
  16. Gilby
    Why is Schlitter warming up over Strop and Ramirez?
  17. Gilby
    Len totally just embarrassed the hell out of his kid.
  18. Gilby
    That was a brutal job of receiving by Castillo on that pitch to Holliday.
  19. Gilby
    <3 Bill Mueller
  20. Gilby
    Baez gets intentionally walked in his 3rd PA. If gameday is right, the first 3 balls were regular pitches and the 4th was intentional.
  21. Gilby
    Starlin has taken some huge swings when up in the count lately and is mashing.
  22. Gilby
    Must have. Len said something about sprinkles right before the Bonifacio catch. Came back after commercial and it was pouring.
  23. Gilby
    Samardzija's command is quite poor tonight.
  24. Gilby
    Ridiculously good play by Barney. Wow.
  25. Gilby
    BB and infield pop up is classic Valbuena.
