    For most of last year, Yuli was some sort of baseball batting savant freak that could actually tailor his at-bats to get more hits when there were RISP. This year, it's like he's deferred to a random number generator for how he's going to approach each at-bat.

    Man, that was a fantastic bunt by Chirinos. If only our fast guys could do it that well...

    Oh, Tony... *sigh* If you can't successfully steal on THAT combination of high pitch and high throw with a slow-delivering, right-handed pitcher on the mound, I really don't know how to defend you anymore as a player.

    I just knew he had to be due. He had been in kind of a mini-slump lately. Now let's get this going!

    Threw White a fastball right down the ****ing middle of the plate. Fouled off. He did walk though, so there's that.

    A walk equals a big single for White.

    Ok, Kemp, you've made up for that stealing failure. Good job.

    That was a good hit, just unlucky.

    Kemp made amends to his caught. Nice double and Straw recognized it well.
