Which makes the idea of running up his pitch count laughable.

Oh no, the guy that's only supposed to pitch an inning or two is throwing a lot of pitches.

If a guys runs up his pitch count and succeeds in getting on base, then a pitcher who was not prepared for that many pitches, who’s not used to throwing that many in an outing, could get fatigued and we could take advantage of that.

That was my thinking.

DUDE.

Out of TWELVE pitches he swung at ONE that ended up out of the zone.

Chill out.

And then makes a nice play at 1B.

[Yossarian]

Schneider hitting to Westburg -- looks more like the law enforcement softball league

[justD]

Mounty has become such a reliable 1B.

Of course, I loved Chris Davis at first too…

How long until we start seeing Westburg showing up on the most underrated lists. I was a definite doubter of his hitting but the new stance made him much better.

The only time in a ML game that I saw a ball hit a 1B in the glove and they have it bounce out Chris Davis was playing First.

He better get thru 7

Where dem colors come from?

Colors?  If you mean the player names that are a different color than the rest, they are all links to the players stat pages, I must have clicked them before at some point.

Someone is going to ge a nice player in Santander for a relatively good price.  He reminds me a bit of Nelson Cruz though not as good at the plate and better in the field.

You have folks that are caught up in the early 2000's mentality. 

In today's game, guys get pulled with low pitch counts and relievers all seem to throw 98.

I'd rather keep facing the starters.

1-2-3 first for Burnes.

Literally no player aged as well as Cruz.

I suspect he is actually a Highlander. 

Him and Melvin Mora, last time I saw Mora a couple of years back, he looked like he could just jump back into a uniform for that night's game.
