Even when Dunn goes down swinging

he still just completely changes the ebb and flow of the game.

Obviously, at the end of the game he’s going to have to hit, but just with his batting eye he’s going to change the way that opposing pitchers face our lineup.

by dahlian on Aug 12, 2008 11:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah

He’s taken at least 30 pitches all by himself tonight. That’s almost 1/3 of a starting pitcher.

I kind of hope that they might take a little time to watch Dunn at the plate and take some notes.

Very Dunnish.

2 walks, 2 Ks, and a bloop double that…. should have scored two runs.

He walks and hits home runs.

So, even though he strikes out, he’s the anti-Dbacks.

We haven’t had a threat like him since Gonzo in his prime.

by foulpole on Aug 12, 2008 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

And when he gets to two strikes

he doesn’t swing at anything like Reynolds and Young do.

He whiffs a ton, but I think he’s only swung at a ball out of the zone once tonight.

Awesome

We need more high OBP guys.

by seanprh on Aug 12, 2008 11:44 PM EDT up reply actions

He’s worked the count to 3 and 2 in 5 different at-bats tonight. I’m just gonna keep saying that until it doesn’t sound so crazy.

Nothing really to note.

He had a double go over his head and bounce off the base of the wall early on, but in the replay it didn’t look like he would have had a chance anyways.

Wondermark and Rehabilitating Mister Wiggles are also fun. Be warned! Mr. Wiggles is definately not safe for work.

I like

how Purple Row thinks that the NL leader in steals (Willy Taveras) actualls has trade value.

by dahlian on Aug 13, 2008 12:15 AM EDT reply actions  

It doesn't seem possible

for somebody to play their home games in Coors field, bat leadoff in 84 starts, steal 51 bases, but still somehow manage to score only 52 runs.

That is the magic of Willy Taveras, I suppose.
