Really? He's in good company.

Yes, we've had a few major leaguers. Juan gone, irod, Castro, Luis aguayo, Joaquin Quintana(played in the 70's), Hector Valle( played in the 50's or 60's) and Edwin maysonet(who played briefly in 2008 or 09 with the Astros)

The last 5 years or so....do we lead the majors in solo home runs? Not exactly complaining, but jeez!

We're #7 in MLB in total HR and #9 in solo HR this season.

 

We hit a lot of solo HR because we hit a lot of HR.

I remember Quintana and Valle, not Maysonet though.

Seattle broadcasters were talking the other day about Konerko's last 9 or 10 homers off Seattle...ALL solo hrs.

These are the opportunities that bite us in the butt late in games when we piss them away.

That's the short description of the first 5 innings both yesterday and today.

Seattle's had good pitching for several years, so they haven't given up a ton of baserunners.

 

On average, teams have 56 HR this year and 33 of them are solo shots, so something like 60% of HR are solo shots.

How could Lexi not hit a fly ball there?

Geezus. Stupid baseball. made to order DP.

Fail by a good hitter. Fail.

 

 

Greg, Lillibridge does his job and reads the same ball that get the lead runner over to 3rd, he's standing on 2nd and you're cheering Alexei for doing his job by not striking out or popping up.

 

Then it's 3-1 with another runner on 3rd with two outs. Totally different situation. I don't blame Alexei. That's arguably two runs (one offensively, one defensively) that he's cost us tonight. The chickens are starting to come home to roost with Lillibridge getting extended play over a long period of time. There was no way he wasn't going to cool down offensively.

So who's our designated closer by committee tonight?

 

Crain, Thornton or Sale? You'd have to go with Matty, but Jesus, if Cliff Pennington comes up again with the winning or tying runner on base, I hope he gets him out or he will be having Aarsdsma-esque nightmares for the rest of the season.

This inning, I would like to learn more about what it would take to own a house, roughly 16,000 square foot, in the Scottsdale area.

 

Dave Wilder still has some of his properties on the market, fwiw.

 

Apparently, Rios has BOTH his left shoulder more turned in AND his hands higher. Those have been the two adjustments Walker is touting to everyone.
