2 of those 3 pitches were pretty good pitches to swing at.

Leadoff double for Kotchman past Votto.

Kc61 · 06-28-2011, 08:16 PM

Stubbs needs to shorten his swing and go to right field.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:18 PM

Nice play by Rolen. Upton's gone and Kotchman has to hold at 2nd.

He goes through stretches where he struggles? Ok, and Alaska goes through stretches where it snows.

I think it's more accurate to say that Stubbs occasionally has good weeks and that's about it.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:20 PM

Jaso grounds out to Rolen....and for some reason Kotchman holds again.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:21 PM

Fuld grounds out to Rolen too. Another nice shutdown by Cueto after the leadoff hit. 1-0 Rays after 5 full.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:21 PM

Buccos up 6-1 now over the Blue Jays.

Situational hitting- hopefully Stubbs will adjust and learn. Stubbs is a fine talent, but still learning the game on this level.

It's all adjusting and readjusting. The skills are there, though.

I don't know if I'd characterize Stubbs as awful or not, but I do know striking out every one third of your plate appearances is not good.

Edit: I want to add that his speed, baserunning, defense and power make him still a worthwhile player. Just mean to say that his inability to make contact consistently is a rather huge mark against him.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:22 PM

60 pitches for Cueto. 38 strikes, 22 balls. 2 hits, 1 run, 4 k's, 1 bb's.

Regardless of what Price is doing...that's flat out SOLID.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:25 PM

Edgar is victim #8. 1 down.

I certainly agree with this, and if nothing else, keeps him from being a good option at lead off.

_Sir_Charles_ · 06-28-2011, 08:26 PM

Heisey K's on 3 pitches. That's 9. Sheesh.
