    BTW, I don't understand why pitchers even bother with things like painting corners against AL pitchers. Just throw three fastballs down the middle.

    10 years ago, we will still remember where we were the day Sam Fuld was intentionally walked.

    It took me a good 10 seconds for me realize why there wasn't a DH in the lineup. Oh yeah, we're playing in an NL park. I should know, I went to a game there last year.

    Am I the only one that is having difficulties with Fox Sports North right now?

    Oh sure, the last time I get a chance to see Jeets in person and he's riding the pine today.

    From the comments: [Nationals GM Mike] Rizzo called [Luhnow] to inquire on Harrell. JL told him we would still need a headliner like Giolito because we still value Harrell highly. Rizzo did not respond immediately. To be fair, Rizzo thought his laughter from that one could be heard 1,500 miles away.

    You know that guy in your fantasy league who on a weekly basis offers everyone completely one-sided trades that no one in their right mind would even bother reading, let alone considering? The Astros GM is "that guy".

    Also, when Willingham gets traded, I hope it is to a team guaranteed to make the playoffs. This is his 11th season and he has yet to experience the postseason.

    Without reading the rest of the posts, I'll just say that there is no reason for Willingham or Morales to be on this team by the end of July. And if Sano was healthy this season, Plouffe might be on the way out as well.

    To put that in perspective, World War II officially ended 9 days prior to writing that first column.

    Definitely no room in this rotation for Meyer or May.

    Personally I don't think he's going to finish the series at all. He's already 65, out of shape, and it takes him several years or more to complete the book, and is doesn't seem like he is capable of working in any way other than what he is comfortable with.

    Why did Fuld catch that. He has an arm that embarrasses Shannon Stewart.
  15. kydoty
    Suzuki with four straight days behind the plate. I'm surprised.

    @nickcafardo 14m David Ortiz has been practicing going the other way the last two days in BP. He did it successfully in the fifth, breaking the shift. Progress!!!

    And of course, on the day I happen to post this, Adam Dunn tries to bunt his way on.

    I was at Target Field yesterday from the start of the rain delay up until the final out. It was worth being sleep deprived today for work. By the time the game started, I pretty much had the Metropolitan Club to myself.

    Adam Dunn is an exception, as he hits the ball a long way, takes a lot of walks, and is absolute garbage at everything else. But lately they're doing shifts for a lot more players...players who have a lot more tools to work with than Adam Dunn.

    As anyone who follows baseball knows, it's been an ongoing trend for a team to shift their infielders in accordance to the hitter's spray chart. The shifts are especially exaggerated for left handed pull hitters. Last night I took this image at Target Field while Adam Dunn was at bat. http://i.imgur.com/5aIjQoi.jpg What bugs the crap out of me is this: Why don't these guys learn how to bunt!!! I don't know about you, but if I saw a team doing that to me, I would think it would be a huge strategic advantage to be able to lay one down the line and walk to first base safely. Hell, it doesn't even half to be a good bunt. As long as it stays on the left side of the infield, the batter is going to make it to first safely. Then they would stop the shifts and you can go back to mashing the ball to the right side of the field. And if I were a manager, to me it would be inexcusable to not try to take advantage of this situation. The defense is basically conceding a hit. It just doesn't make sense to me.

    To further the wow factor, of those 34 multi-strikeout games, only one of them was a three strike game.

    Back to his Moon Shot self last night: 5 IP, 11 H, 9 ER, 0 BB, 7 K, 3 HR. ERA went from 5.79 to 7.62
