Tillman gets the fly out... TB up 2-0, Birds coming back up.

[Matt]

He often has high pitch counts through 2 or 3 and then settles down and still gets through 6 or 7. He's the most durable guy on the staff, so going to 115 or so pitches is no problem.

True. I usually always expect a 5ip performance out of him after the 2nd.

Also, nice to see Davis continue his pattern of working the count and taking the BB. You can't figure he'll be a consistent .300 hitter, so it'd be nice to see him settle into a 70-80 BB a year guy to help with the OBP.

Let's get on the board.

 

5-6-7 isn't usually a strength for us, but against lefties the bottom order guys tonight are all pretty good.  Markakis the exception, struggling a lot vs lefties this year.

Wieters is gonna hit one out later tonight.  He sees Price really well for some reason.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Tough 1-1 pitch to JJ.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Come on blue!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nice job JJ.

[Mackus]

Hardy just throwing the barrel at the ball outside.

[Mackus]

Alright Nicky!  One of the harder balls he's hit lately.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Nick also follows with a hit... 2on, 1 out.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Nick leads the league in singles? That's sorta cool...I guess...

Isn't that the truth?

 

What's the odds that a player who switch hits but has such a drastic performance from one side of the plate eventually settles into hitting from one side?

I can't remember anyone ever giving it up.  Certainly not anyone who was good enough to stick as an everyday player as a switch hitter.  Gotta be a couple examples, but zero pop to mind.

I was just going to say.... is that really a compliment? Especially when you're hitting .280? I can see it being a good thing if you're Ichiro and hitting .350. It's a different story if you're Markakis and hitting .280.

Crowd knows this is an important one.

Anyone watching a stream of the game online?  My two favorite sites are no longer working...quite irritating.  Thanks!

[BSLChrisStoner]

Price having to work... full count to Danny V.

Kinda cool to have the leader in singles, doubles, and homers.  Not very cool for Nick to be leading in singles, though unless, like you said, he was hitting 330 or something and still getting his XBH.
