Ryan Flaherty/Jon Schoop...

[EagleOriole]

Looking forward to Jon Schoop's return, but I hope Buck is going to work Flaherty around the diamond and get him some starts. His has a .347 OBP and a .764 OPS...he should be getting pretty regular at bats - especially considering the defense he brings to the table.

He was intentionally walked last night. Never thought I'd ever see that happen....

I was also wondering at the time if that had ever happened before to Flash. I'm sure that Can or Gordo know.....

When I saw this, I assumed these would be interleague games where the pitcher hit behind him. Nope. All AL teams.

Flaherty will get you everywhere.

There was a double-play attempt last night in which the batter's foot landed on first base just a fraction of a second before Flaherty's throw hit Parmelee's glove. I found myself wondering, "Would Schoop have nailed him?"

I fail to see what's so strange about Ryan Flaherty getting intentionally walked?? Seems completely normal to me

Happened twice. I was sitting directly behind 1B and had the exact same thought. Both plays were tough and Flaherty made accurate throws with a runner bearing down on him, but in both cases I think Schoop would have had enough extra zip to nail the runner.

Yeah, surprised it doesn't happen more often. The guy yesterday was so intimidated he could barely through the IBB.

Flash owns Fenway!

Flaherty's strong numbers vs. lefties (albeit only 36 PA) have moved his career split vs. LHP (all 123 PA) to a position that >> his split against RHP, which is somewhat interesting (all usual SSS qualifiers).
