How long can the team carry LaRoche and Espinosa? They field, but ouch.

Ok did anyone else hear Ray talking about giving a pitcher that hit him 2 black eyes?

Polo Grounds:

That's CF. Griffith Stadium was 407 on the left field line most seasons. Calcin Griffith began to build the bleachers in after he discovered that fans loved to see Roy Sievers hits HR. Old Yankee Stadium always had a huge CF and LF, short RF.

In fact, Griffith usually had the fewest HRs of any park in the AL , or both leagues. Something like 20 or 30 years in a row.

Two years and many years. Espi will be fine.

Marquis' ERA at 3.31
Pitch count at 70

He could start the eighth inning if he doesn't bomb.

See http://www.ballparks.com/baseball/american/griffi.htm

Note the changes in dimensions...many seasons it was about 420 to CF with a 30 foot concrete wall. Take a look at the weird shape of CF: built around a couple of row-houses.

Great AB for Werth. He seems to be seeing the ball better lately

houston-nat · « **Reply #207:** May 15, 2011, 03:15:59 PM »

Nice to see Werth getting hits in this series. Maybe he's turning it around (slowly).

Kevrock · « **Reply #208:** May 15, 2011, 03:16:21 PM »

Werth is bizarre. He can look utterly lost one game, then locked in the next day, then lost the day after that.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #209:** May 15, 2011, 03:17:19 PM »

Bautista with 2 more HR's today.

Up to 15 already.

Wow, looks like another monster year for him.

Can LaRoche and Pudge bring home another run?

But I think we can agree that he always hustles and gives 100%. As he should with that type of salary.

You have to do more with that type of salary. Hustle and giving 100% is mandatory regardless of what you make.

I think yesterday was mostly due to his career suckitude vs. Sanchez

natsfan4evr · « **Reply #213:** May 15, 2011, 03:21:46 PM »

LaRoche with one of his best swings in quite a while, just happened to be hit right to the right fielder.

chemist · « **Reply #214:** May 15, 2011, 03:21:58 PM »

laroche has such a smooth, pretty swing... I just wish he would hit more, dammit

I was thinking more of the 0-8 before yesterday with all the Ks.

natsfan4evr · « **Reply #216:** May 15, 2011, 03:23:00 PM »

Pudge!!

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #217:** May 15, 2011, 03:23:04 PM »

Morrison continues to prove my point.

One of my favorite sports stories. Currently hitting .366/.520/.848. Christ.

There we go - a double for Pudge

What a sweet game!

JMUalumni · « **Reply #220:** May 15, 2011, 03:23:24 PM »

Pudge is on fire!

welch · « **Reply #221:** May 15, 2011, 03:23:26 PM »

Pudge. Again.

Yeah, I like his game. Hopefully his bat heats up more.

He's going to have to do a lot of bad to pass Manny on my list.
