vs. INDIANS, 6/25

[InsideCoroner]

Buck makes no damned sense batting Wieters 6th and taking out Flaherty when he is hot. It's ridiculous.

Actually, I found the stats. Casilla is 9-for-26 (.346) with a homer and 8 RBIs against Masterson. But then again, Flaherty is 2-for-5 against him. And Danny Valencia 6-for-16 (.375). So... why Dickerson?

Considering that the difference in runs scored between an optimized lineup and a randomized one is minimal I don't think batting Wieters 6th instead of say 7th warrants the term ridiculous.

I don't care, I wish they cut Casilla after that baserunning blunder.

Good thing Casilla got the start... why not stay with Flaherty?

Well 8 is a lot of RBI's so that must be indicative of something.

[MDK02]

Is Nate even trying to get on base? Good lord, every pitch was a ball.

Showalter hates playing the hot hand. He wants him to spread those hits out over a two week period

Oh sweet Machado double !!:beerchug1:

[Jonesy10]

Thought that was going out

[lovetoaster]

Damn, I thought that was going to be out.

[WEAVERMAN]

We're getting killed by all the homeruns we give up. Just terrible.

[ACDC27]

That looked like might be out.

[InsideCoroner]

Ugh. Not only is McLouth looking lost, but he must have the worst walk-up music of almost any player. How does Mr. Mister get you fired up?

People are acting surprised that McLouth isn't actually a 964 OPS guy.

[Jonesy10]

Can't get a hit with RISP, once again. Can anyone find our RISP stats for the month? I'd be shocked if we are over .230.

Yeah a 2 million dollar guys isn't going to play like a 10 mllion guy forever.
