vs Astros 6/4

[ArtVanDelay]

That Astro's SS is making me mad. How come he isn't on our team?

He's probably one of the worst players in the majors. He's certainly among the worst hitters and he's below average at SS defensively. He won't have a job soon when the Astros call up Correa.

What is below the Mendoza line? Pearce is going for it.

.200 batting avg

Just DFA Pearce and bring up Parmelee or Reimold. Nothing to lose at this point.

.200 batting avg

No, he said below the Mendoza line.

I think .125 is the Teagarden stroke....

[Going Underground]

.200 batting avg

Below that like .150

Wow. That guy is below avg? Granted this is the first time I have noticed him but has made some wonderful plays against us.

And that is what I was basing my opinion on.

Per yahoo.com

The Mendoza Line is an expression in baseball in the United States, deriving from the name of shortstop player Mario Mendoza, whose mediocre batting average is taken to define the threshold of incompetent hitting. The cutoff point is most often said to be .200[1] (although Mendoza's career average was .215) and, when a position player's batting average falls below that level, the player is said to be "below the Mendoza Line".

[Going Underground]

I don't want to see Delmon Young in the outfielder for one more game.

Damnit Young hit the MFing cut off man. Finding whatever way we can to lose.

[osfanfrom70]

Thats terrible, Delmon is so bad. Always finding a new way to embarrass himself. I'd ask for him to be benched but our manager already took the wambalance out of here.

Uggh. Noticed that MASN has shut down commenting on Facebook and their site. PA must not like the comments.

But he has a gun. Sure his aim is faulty but hey....8 assists will buy you plenty of rope.
