July 19, 200719 yr Really? I had no idea he'd been on the DL.... That affects the percentage of the time he strikes out? I'm not saying that Dunn is better than Howard...clearly. I'm saying they are WAY more similar than most people think. Howard, in spite of LY, will not be a .300 hitter...or even a .280 hitter. He is, like Dunn, a three outcome guy (K, BB, HR). He is a VERY good one, but he is what he is. He also doesn't have the track record Dunn does (let's see Howard hit 40 bombs for 3 or 4 years in a row), but he does have a ton of potential. I like Howard fine, I'm simply pointing out he K's as much, if not moreso, as Dunn. Had he not missed a few weeks he'd be leading the ML's in K's, not Dunn. You know what? Who cares. Howard is a quality major leaguer in spite of the K's and so is #44. That, my friend, is the bottom-line. Hey I agree with you 100% I was just saying.
July 19, 200719 yr Nice job by Belisle to get out of the jam. Seems to be a carbon copy of his start against the Mets.
July 19, 200719 yr Chris Welsh has mentioned a few times, including tonight, that one way to see that a pitcher has a good fastball is when the batter fouls a pitch straight back. Doesn't the fact that it went straight back mean the batter had it timed pretty well?

July 19, 200719 yr Top 2: Two-out single for Freel. Freel's 15th stolen base. Hatteberg disagreed with CB Bucknor's 3-1 call. I'm guessing CB Bucknorwill be questioned more than once tonight. He's not good. I guess that guy. Thats from CTR's blog.
July 20, 200719 yr It's funny I didn't hear a word about the move Pete had that pretty much saved the game yesterday, when brought Freel in to have 5 infielders. All I heard about was his ability/inability to manage the pitchers late in the game that we won and our pitchers put up 19K's.
July 20, 200719 yr CTR: Top 4: OK -- the idea of cheerleaders at a baseball game bothers me. But, well, the Mermaids. Um. Yeah. I gotta make sure I get singles for tomorrow.
July 20, 200719 yr Because I'm that bored, I looked up the following useless information. Belisle has pitched 113 innings through 4 tonight. He has had only 34 1,2,3 innings. 16 of those came in April.
