Lol Lopez as a bridge.  You're on a roll tonight bro. 

I think he had a 2.16 ERA since going to the bullpen.  I'm not an ace at baseball reference though.

I know.  It's just funny that we can consider him as an asset.  Weird to think about his performance in a positive light.

Yeah, Phil, you lost me on this one, big guy.  It's not like he was a threat to get a hit.

I don’t pretend that Jones can hit, but it’s easier to make contact when you’re swinging away then when you are bunting, and after that first, hilariously comically bad bunt attempt, Why in the name of our sweet Savior did anybody endorse him trying it again?

If you make contact you’re probably going to advance the runner anyway.

Huge out, getting out of the inning without having to face Martinez with men on.  JD is possibly the best hitter in MLB vs LHP the last 6 or 7 years.

Oops, my joke sensor was off there, my apologies.

I think he’s injured though, and not going to pitch again. I still want to try him as a piggyback guy with Akin. I think that would be amazing, to go from a wild 95 RHP to a wild 85 LHP guy.

Gutierrez has an 8 game hitting streak.

[Moose Milligan]

K-Gut's recent hot streak is giving me false hope that he can turn into a good hitter.

[Philip]

Gutierrez Has been hitting pretty well lately, is it possible that he’s actually not a bad hitter he just needed some time?

If he can hit, he could be our third baseman for the next couple of years

What will it take to turn it from a false hope into a real hope?

I know, I was pointing out we don't have him because of that.  Yes Akin and Lopez would be nice (they'll probably have Lopez bridge the gape 2x a week) contrast, though I think you're shorting Akin some MPH.

Nevin!

A whole season of good hitting.  And even then, gotta see if it carries over to next year.

Hey Nevin, woot woot!
