Polanco

BEAST!

since i only have the gamecast to go by, please explain how one singles to the pitcher.  because that's how they show it in the game log.  i'm guessing it was just a little dribbler like halladay's was yesterday but i'm hoping that he drove one back into the pitcher's face. 

I didn't see this answered, but it was a hard hopper off the pitcher's calf.  By the time the pitcher found the ball, the throw to first was too late.

Brown is not ready.  Francisco is next in line for a starting gig in the outfield, for the rest of this year anyway.

[LBIggle]

i doubt their paying werth and howard the fat cash.  of course it depends on what type of year werth has too.

Another reason you need to get the mlb.com premium package.  I was worried I was going to have to hear dibble for 3 hours.  Thank god I got the Phils crew.

MLB.TV is pretty awesome on cable.  I was watching earlier today and they cut from game to game and keep you up to date on everything.  Good stuff.  Hazel Mae who hosts the Quick Pitch show is actually very good.

Really, Jason Marquis?  You want to "go there?"

The right-hander, who signed a $15 million, two-year contract with Washington as a free agent, made the case that Howard "does have holes in his swing."
"When I made pitches on him tonight, I got him out," Marquis said. "When I left the one ball out, you saw what he was able to do with it. That's what he thrives on -- a ball up out over the plate, pitchers making a mistake, and getting the barrel through the ball. ... But there's a reason why he also strikes out 200 times, 180 times. He has holes in his swing. So if you make your pitches, you know, he's going to be an out."

Wow. LOL. Howard just made both him and their #1 his bitches 2 days in a row....and he says that?

[Sgt PSN]

he's 100% right.   but you still don't say it after he lauched one into orbit. 

[SunMo]

he's partially right.  howard has holes in his swing, sure.  Pujols may be the only one who doesn't though.

but it's not like Howard can only hit meatballs either.

[ice grillin you]

basically all he said was that if he makes his pitches he will get people out

brilliance

[Sgt PSN]

pretty much.  it's a very madden-esque statement. 

[smeags]

the kendrick experiment v 2.5 starts tonight.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I have more faith in Kendrick than in Hamels right now.
