Damn, I'm jealous of whoever's at the park today, perfect weather. Not too hot with some nice breezes.

Could Bryce really not make that catch?

Harper gave up on that one.

Haren has to avoid the long ball.

Come on Dan

nibble nibble nibble. They are going to eat him up if he has to serve them down the middle.

Nice

Good offspeed pitch.

Jump on them early and often. Set the tone.

Yep. We gotta attack here. Nail these guys.

Span's speed is nice in the outfield but he's slow on the basepaths.

ball not carrying today. Not very hot/humid outside.

Denard Span is the slowest fast I've ever seen. Seems like he never beats out one of those bang-bang infield hits.

With Haren pitching that's fine with me.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #22:** August 15, 2013, 04:26:44 PM »

Harper looks just like Zimmerman lately. A ton of strike 3s looking on fastballs for no reason. Too much guessing at the plate.

mmzznnxx · « **Reply #23:** August 15, 2013, 04:26:44 PM »

So Harper's sucked lately.

They are overthinking it.
