In his entire professional career, 191 games, Rivera's given up 7 HRs. I like those odds.

Aaron Cook's line: 5.2 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K
Tim Redding's line: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 6 K

I'll be satisfied if he keeps it above the .275 mark for the rest of the season. I'm not gonna ask too much of these young players.

Okay.

Good till he pulled a glute rounding first.

Somebody said that Bonifacio reminds them of a younger/quicker Guzman, I would have to agree with this. He goes for the early contact like Guzman and I even remember Sutton talking about how he was getting batting tips from Guzman. If he was able to get as many hits as Guzman, imagine how much damage he could do.

We need a DP

houston-nat · « **Reply #308:** August 04, 2008, 11:18:05 PM »

Let's not give it up now. This guy's batting .133.

wisefan11 · « **Reply #309:** August 04, 2008, 11:18:53 PM »

Damnit.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #310:** August 04, 2008, 11:19:04 PM »

damn. Bonifacio took a little bit too long with the ball but that was a tough play regardless.

He's hiting .280 with 28 hrs- for a team that wanted to content that isn't really expendable, esp. compared to justin upton

Who would've guessed that he'd do that, though? The Diamondbacks also ended up using Chris Carter (the guy they got for Quentin) as a piece to get Haren. Worked out for both teams.

Rivera is our best groundball reliever with a 1.52 GO/AO (Best on the team is Lannan at 2.12)

There's no way he would have turned that.

Probably not. Would have been close.

Wow, fantastic job by Rivera. Shame Manny didn't let him start the inning.

I love me some SAAOOOL

Saul!!

Great job by Rivera in cleaning up Redding's mess. Can't ask for much more than what Rivera did, retire all three batters.

ronnynat · « **Reply #318:** August 04, 2008, 11:24:00 PM »

Kearns has this way of making close pitches look like definite balls. He confuses the umps.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #319:** August 04, 2008, 11:24:07 PM »

nice, lead-off HBP. We really need a few more runs.

ronnynat · « **Reply #320:** August 04, 2008, 11:24:47 PM »

Another homer would be nice, Flores.

ronnynat · « **Reply #321:** August 04, 2008, 11:26:05 PM »

He looked off there. Guessing too much. Come on, Casto! Do something!

wisefan11 · « **Reply #322:** August 04, 2008, 11:26:58 PM »

Man the Rox are not sharp tonight.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #323:** August 04, 2008, 11:27:03 PM »

Nice play, Atkins. Man they suck defensively.

Langerhans is due.

wisefan11 · « **Reply #324:** August 04, 2008, 11:27:31 PM »

Oh noes its the Langerhannns
