He is leading the team with 69 SOs, I believe. Which, honestly, 69 strikeouts at this point in the year is not TERRIBLE by any means, but his flirting with the Mendosa line and flirting with .000 with RISP is HORRIFIC.

its less to do with moylan and more to do with the other half of the order. and escobar isn’t exempt either too. his OPS had dropped off by a good deal…i know its expected, and better than renteria…but still. fuck

you can say the same about Chipper, I know it’s hard to continue the great start he got off too. However his numbers have dropped significantly over the last month and a half or so

I hope you’re joking because Soriano is one of our better relievers when healthy. And I know health has been a concern with him, but you can say the same with Gonzo and now Moylan. It happens….and it just so happens that those three are the best they have.

Heap hits what I like to call a “super-pull,” where he crushes something easily the distance of a homer, into foul territory. And then once he super-pulls something, he’ll never see that pitch again despite looking for it.
