    Why hasn't Dana given Singleton a try yet? Can he possibly be worse than Madris?

    Oh cool. Just checked the score. Losing to the A’s already again. Nice.

    True, but nobody likes 98+ moving down and in on the edge of the plate

    I'm still waiting on Brown to actually be good. Remember when he was like I'm too good for the minors?

    if it's the only 1 run he give up, then he's fine. offense needs to show up.

    however, if he gives up 5 runs and only go through 4, then he has some mechanic issues to go back and fix it.

    I really like Dubon's defense at second.

    If there were about 50% more LH pitcher's he could be an everyday starter.

    True. But he's been pretty average this year.

    He is also a rookie, so give him some time.

    Pena missed a hanging curveball there… begging to be crushed.

    Good hitters get paid to crush the mistakes.

    Maybe, but he had some time last year that was stellar. Guess the league caught up to him.

    Pena's a bottom of the order bat it appears. Nothing special. Still thankful for his magic carpet ride playoffs last year though.

    he is who he is.

    0.240-0.260 hitter at best.

    the playoff run he had really set his expectations much higher than it should be.

    he'll go through hot and cold stretches. it is what is it.
