  1. I'd like to see LoMo hitting 2nd. I'd flip Gaby and Stanton as well. I think they could take advantage of more hit/run situations if Hanley is on base with Sanchez hitting behind him. 1. Infante 2. LoMo 3. Hanley 4. Sanchez 5. Stanton 6. coghlan 7. Buck 8. Dominguez
  2. I've never heard of an non pitcher getting Tommy John. Probably have been plenty of them, but this is the first one I've heard of. Kelly Johnson who is having a great year for Arizona had it. Roberto Alomar Luis Gonzalez. Full list: Baseball Reference
  3. Gaby will be on 790 The Ticket in just a few minutes...
  4. I think Gaby let up more than a little. He just hooked Morgan's head with his arm. If he wanted to he could have gone in and thrown a haymaker . We'd have a whole different national story today if he goes in leading with a fist rather than an arm. Gaby Sanchez is the man. I've never seen a 1st baseman get to a brawl first. Usually it's the catcher.
  5. I actually think that's pretty cool. Halladay will have a gaggle of awards/items to show off when he moves beyond the game of baseball. Most catchers like Ruiz won't. Nicely done on Halladay's part.
  6. Good luck, Cody. One of the most enjoyabe players I've seen come through here, and I know I'm not alone on that statement. Definitely pulling for the Giants the rest of the season.
  7. Keep in mind he's been hitting low in the lineup with little protection as well. It's still early. Pitchers will adjust to him, but I have no doubt he'll adjust back as well. You don't make it to the majors at his age on power alone - he's done a great job learning the other things to level-up through the system - and now the lineup. Everyone makes the Reynolds comparison because of the Power and K's, but Reynolds came out and publicly stated that he's not going to change his game to cut down on his strikeouts. In the last year he's gone from a .250/.260 hitter to hitting .220 this year. He should probably revisit the strikeout approach. I don't see Stanton sharing that attitude. He wants to put the ball in play. I'll let you numbers guys handle the serious projection work, but as we head into the new ballpark I think .260/35R's is realistic. I think his RBI numbers will be off the charts with guys like Hanley/Morrison/Coghlan getting on in front of him.
  8. Maybin showing some pop I went to the Zephyr's game on Sunday night here in Salt Lake - and the homer that Maybin hit was possibly the farthest I've ever seen in person. It was an absolute bomb. It's 345 down the left field line at the park here - he hit it over the left field wall - over the spectator hill - it landed on the pedestrian walkway and bounced out of sight. it probably wound up on Main Street or in the back of the fire station. Been to more than a few games and have never seen anyone clear the hill like that. I would estimate it went about 420' - dead pull. He would have put it in the 2nd-deck at Sun Life. Google aerial map for reference. http://maps.google.c...=h&z=18&iwloc=A
  9. Ryan Howard flew to Florida with the team - but just flew back to Philadelphia today for more tests on an injured ankle. Don't think he'll see much if any action in this series.
  10. Anibal was a monster. Hopefully the back end of the rotation is taking notes and feeling equal to the task in the days ahead. I'm really liking the current lineup. I'll take the split against the hottest team in baseball.
  11. Sucks that Haren won't be able to get 2 or 3 at bats per start. He's a monster with the stick. Even in the AL, he'll get a few pitch hit appearances I'd imagine.
  12. PTBNL should be LHP Tyler Skaggs whom the D'backs were high on in last years draft. I can't imagine the D'backs were that high on Joe Saunders. He's a flyball pitcher and is going to get lit up in that ballpark in Phoenix. 2 more years of arbitration - cheaper than Haren .. smells like salary dump with D'backs counting on the 2 low-minors prospects to become middle of the rotation guys in 3 years.
  13. I'm glad that Mr. Volstad was able to work out all of his problems in New Orleans over the last week.
  14. Living out here I get the pleasure (or should I say - displeasure) of watching these guys broadcast games all year when i'm not watching the Marlins. They are widely regarded as a horrific tandem. Don't know if you were able to see any of the pre or post game segments with Tracy Ringolsby (the guy with the cowboy hat), but he takes it to another level of insufferable. The Rockies announcers should know a thing or two about empty as they've had practice. Their field is regularly filled with people dressed as empty seats - even on the weekends. For the record, I hate bashing people who work on TV. It's easy to be critical when you're not the one in front of the camera. But the Rockies duo needs to start thinking through some of their comments.
