That's pretty much average for him since he rarely takes a walk. He is what he is.

Yup wouldn't expect more then that elite level defence and a streaky hitter for a CF.

Pompey is the answer at that position long term, but Pillar's defence plays for now.

Dosh Donaldson you the real MVP.....

Stupid Arizona park rules, that's a HR in any other park.

Vintage Stro today. Lots of weak groundballs

Stroman is a maniac. Two unnecessary slides into 2nd base lol. Calm down man!

That was a great bunt though. Maybe we can pinch hit him throughout the season

And the Twins are 10-6 this month. Might even steal a game from the Sox.

Darwin Barney hitting ~.300 after 200+ PAs is not something I would have bet on before the season. It wouldn't have been surprising to see him get less than 200 PAs over the full season. If he keeps this up it'll be interesting to see what his market is like in the off-season. He's a ~2 WAR player so far.

Edit: And a 6 WAR player extrapolated over a full season of PAs. LOL.

Looking at the O's rotation, I'm **** amazed they've lead this division for this long. I think their time may be up soon.

Ties Vernon Wells for 3rd all time in Hrs. :clap:

I can't see Pompey ever topping what Pillar brings right now. Elite defense and an average bat are a tough combo to duplicate. Pompey might hit better but he won't deliver more wins.

Ya. The one negative from the 2 game series. He needs to figure things out soon.

It's time to call Morales up and send Schultz down. We have to see if this guy has anything.
