This offense has been unbelievable in the past week. Now, if only they could have shown up when I saw them face the Rangers and Cole Hamels...

I survived my first game thread (7/25), although the Twines and Señor Berríos didn’t fare so well in Dodgerville that night. Here goes another one as they put their 6-game winning streak on the line a

You can make quite a list--Polanco, Buxton, Mauer, Belisle-who some have called for being taken off the roster. It's a long season.

Berrios pitched a great game but the offense hasn't been able to support him.

Don't forget Molitor, and Molitor, and Molitor. He's been gone, fired, and executed in the public square several times this season. I myself condemned Belisle to an untimely demise. Even today I was calling for Sano to be benched!

Mujica's best pitch is a sneaky 2-seamer that starts out of the zone, then bends arm-side about a foot. However, just like Kyle Gibson's 2-seamer, it's not actually very hard to hit because it sits up in the zone. Both guys want the hitter to give up on the pitch, but if they swing at it, they'll drill a line drive.

Yeah, late, haven't read all the comments so I'm going to ask: Am I the only one who wasn't really worried when the Tigres went up by 5 in the first?

Rosario is slugging .503 for the season now.   :)

Second best OPS on the team.

 

I've considered him a 4th OF candidate until recently, but he has really been a dangerous hitter for most of this season.

And then Eddie does the same thing. Good defense!!

 

...and don't think the pitchers don't notice how these guys are busting a gut to catch those balls. Huge boost for pitcher morale.
