I liked the Barry Bonds pose there after he hit that.

Did you guys see the expression on the visitors' dugout bat boy?

eagleskins · « **Reply #127:** June 18, 2008, 09:19:17 PM »

There has been a Flop sighting.

Hey, maybe I brought some good luck (doubt it though)

BerkeleyNat · « **Reply #129:** June 18, 2008, 09:20:54 PM »

I wish Lo Duca would just leave.

Man, Lo Duca has been impressive both in the field and at the plate tonight. We might be able to get 3 or 4 top-notch prospects for him.

So much for increasing his value....

Have we exhausted our quota of runs for tonight?

I'm not impressed with Gomez either. 72 Ks in 283 ABs from a singles hitter? Ouch. They could have gotten much better for Santana.

That was another stupid trade from Bill Smith. Unless Mulvey, Gomez, and Guerra all hit their ceilings, I don't see them getting equal value. I have no idea why they didn't try to take a deal from the Angels or Red Sox.

Seriously. The best option as far as dealing with Lo Duca is to "forget him" at the gas station when the bus leaves.

I thought that ball was going to get deep and score Guzman.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #137:** June 18, 2008, 09:23:45 PM »

Nice hits by Guz and Dukes. We could really use a hit here.

Clutch hit opportunity #2 - ?

Pathetic.

If we can get someone else to pay Lo Duca the $5 million we're paying, we're ahead.

DUKES SINGLE... LOB.

freak. forget it. 2 nice hits and then Milledge goes up there and weakly grounds out on 1 pitch.

eagleskins · « **Reply #145:** June 18, 2008, 09:25:47 PM »

Milledge doesn't have a clutch bone in his body.

BerkeleyNat · « **Reply #146:** June 18, 2008, 09:28:20 PM »

Lo Duca actually made a play. Quick...someone trade him.

ronnynat · « **Reply #147:** June 18, 2008, 09:28:37 PM »

Not sure if you guys can see this, but these are the Nats' offensive splits for each pitch count.

We are best when we have favorable counts (just like every other team), but we're not bad at swinging at the first or second pitch either. I think it makes sense to swing early against Slowey b/c he throws A LOT of first pitch strikes.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #148:** June 18, 2008, 09:29:11 PM »

embarrassing. We have had 2 strikes on Mauer in every freaking AB he has had in this series and our lame pitchers just can never put him away.

How did Puckett die again? Cancer?
