Didn't Guzman hit in the nine spot in 2005 when he couldn't hit anything to save his life?

Unless you mean during interleague play no.

Off topic: how many seats is that fat mess in the red shirt taking up.

Also, Dunn got lucky there.

Funny story. I went to see the Orioles/Braves at OPACY last month. My wife and I were sitting in our seats when these Braves fans sit down in the seats next to us. The guy sitting next to me was pushing 350 lbs easily. The guy was literally taking up my space because he was so big. I had to lean to the right a little to be comfortable. We moved to better seats after the first inning, but it was still pretty bad. I almost see why you would make some people pay for two seats. Those stadium seats are small also.

You know, this club could sign me to a league minimum deal and I promise I will strike out looking with RISP. I figure since the LAC, I could be a steal!

Defensively? I don't think Guzman has much to offer.

Gonzalez and Hernandez up the middle is a great DP combo and both have unreal range. Guzman is as slow as freak.

Guzman hits for better average but the goal of a leadoff hitter is to get on base and make things happen. He will get more AB's than anyone else so OBP is the best measure. Right now and trending forward, Gonzalez is the better man for the job. Guzman 's 31, doesn't have nearly the speed he once had and is declining.

I'm not saying that Gonzalez is great shakes, but right now, he's playing better than Guzman.

valid point minty. gonzalez has better range defensively but they both have trouble with some pretty routine plays.

guzman is in a slump, yes, but i still think he has more to offer. we're either going to trade him or honor his contract this year/next ... win-win situation for us, imo.

that was a strike and he should have swung but good walk Adam.

I'd pay money to see what you would say (or not say) if you ever ran into Dunn in a bar. I'd say "with a few beers in you" but you don't drink.

Spidernat, your correct, I did not think that post thru properly, he hit low in the order during that awful slump, but not poor enough to have a pitcher hit in front of him. I award myself one stupid point.

I caught LintyFresh with that mistake and the following night he caught me making the same error.

I guess your point was right though. He did hit 8th a lot.

Ok Morgan is awesome and Pittsburgh was stupid for giving him up.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #87 on:** July 03, 2009, 07:09:30 pm »

Detwiler looks bad.

nice catch by Morgan.

spidernat · « **Reply #88 on:** July 03, 2009, 07:10:12 pm »

Mechanics are going to be a huge issue for Detwiler.

Can I take back what I said earlier about feeling that Detweiler was going to get his first win tonite?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #91 on:** July 03, 2009, 07:12:44 pm »

Manny Acta is a cartoon character. Part Popeye, part something else, I can't put my finger on it.
