Sorry, I just chuckled when I saw this, comfortably just seems funny to wed Dunn and stolen bases. Easily maybe, but him and stolen bases just strike me as humorous when referred to as comfortable. I'd bet the sound effects of the play from start to finish would eliminate comfortable as the description. And the receiver of the throw I'm sure was uncomfortable!

 

It better be on the third base side!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't see Junior stealing bases do you? Dunn is just a big guy, period. Is he in tip-top shape, no, but the guy isn't all that slow. That steal on Tuesday in Houston was a straight steal...and he beat the throw comfortably.

 

Because Rocket never even glanced his way and he got a huge jump...

He's killing my fantasy team. I expect him to get hot again. He hit last year, and he hit early in the season. His swing for the first time in his career looks to have holes to me. I can't spot what it is, but it seems inconsistent.

 

Love to see it happen, but not expecting it...

I found this to be kinda interesting on Lances blog....

Titled "Jerry moves everyone but Jr."

 

Anybody else wish Narron would try having the same lineup two games in a row? Does anyone think that maybe the offense would be more consistent if the hitters were able to get more comfortable in the spot??? I don't know, just asking....IMO, I'd think it would be better to have less changes just for the sake of change.

...and everyone always worries about Junior over at first? What prevents him (besides not being on base) from doing the same when folks "never even glance his way...?"

Semantics, IMO. Going in at 90+ mph, coming out at 75+mph in under 2 seconds.(Probably closer to 1.8)

 

I'm a firm believer in smart baserunning can steal you bases but there still needs to be some speed involved. Especially when stealing second.

I never said there was a reason for Junior not to do the same, just that this was the reason Dunn got the SB so easily...

So who is going tonite for us?

EZ v Buckholz

Love to see it happen, but not expecting it...

 

 

For the last month he's batted 189. You do not expect him to hit over 300 for at least a week straight? I'm not expecting a giant turnaround but he's batting 236. If he can raise that to above 250 then he's going to have to bat 270-275 for the remainder of the year and I fully expect that.

Lidle went 8 Innings for his second straight game for the Phillies this afternoon... :sssh:

The part I agree with is he is a big guy.Why is he not in tip-top shape? It is past mid season and he can't get in shape,? Come on give me a break!

He sure looked quick lumbering into 3rd last night.:walk: A throw on the money and he is sitting in the dugout. He is flat out not in shape and it shows in left field.

That wasn't speed related, it was horrible judgement on a fly ball and defensive position...

I mentioned him in my column for tomorrow as a possibility for a return.
