and needed room for Reddick and Chavez

I'm confused. Puig had ok avg and obp in June and July, just not a ton of production. I assume he's been a pain in the rear based on the whining I keep hearing from the LA media about him.

thanks for sharing that Cleveland Indian wiki page.

Ha, you're welcome. It gave me a solid chuckle.

he's been disappointing this year.  Rosenthal corrected his report about the whining of Puig BTW, so that was blown out of proportion.

 

also, even though he did well the last two months, he's played sparingly.

If you print screen you don't have to take a picture of the monitor.  Shift+Sysrq, above the Insert key on most keyboards.

Thanks, I actually found the screen capture online elsewhere and used it since the wiki page has probably been fixed by now. Otherwise I'd have grabbed a clean capture.

Ah, no problem. When I learned about the screen capture function it blew my mind.

Antony offered Gibson. Angels said no way, but what about Nolasco?

Naturally. Soscia values veteran presence as much as Gardy, I'm sure.

Those offensive statistics from June 25 are incomprehensible considering the start

 

Time to resurrect the fun with numbers thread.  Those counting stats might equal April and May combined.

Poor Gibby, done in by the Coriolis Effect again...

 

 

The following posters like this photo and want to buy him/her a steak dinner:

Gotcha. I haven't followed the Dodgers closely so I don't know what he's been doing throughout the year. Just skimmed his stats page and saw he wasn't a total trainwreck, which is what I assumed it would take to demote him. I wonder if he's been hot dogging on defense again too? That was a sticking point with him early on.

We seriously can't get one f-Ing out?

Don't worry.  Here comes the Minnesota hit parade.

I've seen him make some fantastic plays this year, especially with his arm.

Good. Stopped the bleeding. Now a couple runs by the Good Guys would reverse the mojo back our way.

[LaBombo]

 

I wouldn't discount Rogers in the late innings......

What about buy one/get one, or free shipping at least?

[jimmer]

Polanco gets down the line pretty quickly

[twinssporto]

Santana the Santa.  Merry Christmas everyone!

No, I wouldn't do that.  I could add a Milone for absolutely nothing.  It can't be beat!!

[twinssporto]

We are a hitting ball club!  (At least for a few games)  Fun!

Bert said someone is warming up.  Didn't catch the name..

 

Knowing Bert, he could have been talking about global warming and gotten the two confused.

[HitInAPinch]

1st and 3rd, 1 out.  LIKE

Knowing Bert, he isn't broadcasting today.

FWIW this guy now pitching for Cleveland was a 23rd round draft pick, rocketed through the minors, and was never demoted after his debut.

 

I say this as a Cleveland fan who does not want to jinx him.

[HitInAPinch]

2 lefties coming up.  Cleveland brings in a righty??

After almost 20 hits by Twins last night why not?
