Damn, has it really got to the point that Dirks has been bad enough that I don't really question this move?

Don freaking kelly

Pretty much. When you look at the rest of the lineup 7-9 then you just shrug your shoulders and say whatever....play ball.

What's the deal with Toriiiiiiii today? Is great gramps just givin' gramps the day off?

He's just trying to be cautious with both Miggy amd Torii. Torii is available to pinch hit. I wouldn't be surprised if Miggy got pulled early again if we somehow had a good lead.

 

[tinselwolverine]

Don Freakin' with a productive at bat.

 

[manchild98]

On July 28th last year Miggy had 83 rbi's.

Every fucking time Prince hits into the DP!! He is slowly becoming the Inge of rally killers. Sure he can hit a ball a mile but only seems to do it when the run makes no difference and the bases empty.

 

[tigermud]

Prince just seems over aggressive swinging at anything and everything that looks hitable, victor seems to play a decent first when he's in there

I was just thinking, if Cabrera nagging injury gets to the point they have to let him DH only....I think Victor gets 1st and maybe Prince, streak or not, gets to sit. Unless Victor volunteers to put on the mask and pads, but he's been the hottest hitter on the team for the last 2 weeks, can't bench him.

Don't look now. Alex is closing in on .200....

 

[tigermud]

Alex almost to .200, good to see him finally starting to hit again, now gotta get prince and AJ right

Loaded for Donny freakin' Kelly, it's all you Donny baseball...uggg fail

Ok miggy time to stop letting this bum off the hook

 

[gotime909]

Here comes a grand slam for Donnie baseball!

 

[manchild98]

Gotta score at least 2 this inning. Bases loaded and no outs for Donnie Feaking Kelly.

 

[Thumb]

Bases loaded, nobody out, and the mighty Donny Kelly at the plate.

What could go wrong?

 

[Thumb]

Just awful.

 

[gotime909]

That's a good way to get back on my shit list Donnie!!

 

[manchild98]

That pitch was right down the middle and he missed it. C'mon Miggy....do your thing.
