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

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.
by dahlian on Aug 12, 2008 11:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Impressive
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.

Early a ball went over his head and bounced either right in front of the wall or hit the wall and bounced back.
by TwinnerA on Aug 12, 2008 11:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.

A Softer World, although some people find it a little creepy.
Wondermark and Rehabilitating Mister Wiggles are also fun. Be warned! Mr. Wiggles is definately not safe for work.

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

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.
