Maybe we can coax someone into giving us a return commensurate with his potential, which I now think he will never realize.

Handedness be (darned). Bruce had 1st and 3rd with one out against a righty who was getting tagged, and he waved at a high fastball out of the zone - first pitch. I could go to the plate without a bat and give us a better outcome.

Bruce will eventually heat up and then cool off again...the end result will be a .248 average, 29 HR and 101 RBI. Ludwick, with equal PT, could produce that. I just think Jay has peaked.

I can't think choc chip, tummy ache from choc pie....

Way to short arm the kid Berry.

Does anyone think we need a new batting coach???

Hanigan is a nice little hitter. And not just because he hits in the 8-hole.

Hanny singles, 1st and 2nd, 1 down. Mat at batt.

This team can bunt. (This is a recording.) :)

God almighty, fire Brook Jacoby. Yesterday. And fine each and every one of these (buttholes) who are getting paid millions of dollars to play professional baseball and CAN'T LAY DOWN A FREAKING BUNT.

at least they are getting opportunities. they will punch through sooner or later.

Stubbs with a rocket. Not really. But it counts.
