    Selective memory right?

    Two strikes is the death knell for every hitter

    Philips lifetime (2 strikes) 2831 ABs

    .213/.268/.300/.568

    Why swing at 2-0 when the pitcher is showing wildness? I know the P is up next, but getting the pitch count up higher should be paramount in a DH. And if you're going to swing, it better be in a specific zone and you better drive the ball. Very disappointed in the complete disappearance of Cozart's power this year. If you had told me that Billy would have 2x the HR as Cozart, I would have called you crazy.

    Never. They could go 0-162 for the next 500 years and I'd be A-okay with that.

    Scratch that, let them go 18-144. I'm fine with them beating the Cardinals.

    Cueto looking sharp. 19 pitches, 15 strikes. That'll work.

    How many did he throw in that last inning. I was working and before I knew it, Marty was showing John Fay the door (or was it Sheldon?).
