Expecting a huge game from Bethancourt.

[thethe]

Lets give Folty a nice cushion early on.

I would like to see Nick get a day off sometime soon. Looks tired out there.

[nsacpi]

With Jerome Williams out there, runs are gonna be at a premium. This is where small ball helps.

Yeah - all the sudden he isn't displaying much power

[nsacpi]

Looks like that is by design.

[Julio3000]

[The Chosen One]

Expecting a huge game from EY Jr... errr wait holy **** Maybin is in there again!?!!?

[chop2chip]

This is the type of lineup I would like to see more of. Just replace Callaspo with Peraza and we are golden.

Drop Peraza and JUp in there next season (with KJ, Gomes and AJP on the bench), and suddenly you have a pretty good little ball club...

[Julio3000]

If this is the new Simmons, and it's thanks to Seitzer, dude earned his pay already.

.280 with some walks and pop will do quite nicely.

[dak]

Callaspo showing off his 2.5 inch vertical on that ball off the bag. Not exactly an A for effort.

[Garmel]

Folty's had some bad luck this inning.

[thewupk]

.280 with some walks and pop will do quite nicely.

Yeah and his BB% is almost double his K%. Simmons has been really impressive this year offensively.

[USMA76]

Couple of weak hits in the second inning that I hope don't come back to bite us.

[cajunrevenge]

I had Folty pegged as a future reliever before the season but I am really liking what I am seeing from him. I like the walk that inning, he threw a bunch of fastballs off the plate to see if he would chase knowing the pitcher was up next and then retired the pitcher on 1 pitch down the middle. Seems like every other time we walk the 8th hitter to get to the pitcher we cant throw strikes to the pitcher.

[thethe]

Folty is not ready.

[Braves1976]

Haha, Markakis boots it and Revere still held at third. Thanks. :)

Or the pitcher hits a bases clearing double.

Setizer baby!
