yay Eric indeed!
I know it’s nitpicking, but Gardner was 2 for 5, not 1 for 5.
Hey today is the one year anniversary of Mark Buehrle’s no-no.
question, what happened to the guy we drafted who can throw with both arms? just out of curiosity…
Pat Venditte, he didn’t sign and went back to Creighton for his senior year.
oo ok thanx
I know it’s early, and he’s 19, but Jose Tabata is slugging .295 on the year.
You said it yourself, it’s still early and he’s only 19. Chillax, we shouldn’t worry about his power until at least … his 21st birthday.
And besides, Russ Martin, Andruw Jones, Jose Guillen, Troy Tulowitzki, Robinson Cano, David Ortiz and Jack Cust are slugging under .295 too.
is it me? Or does AJax look like a future MLB player
How about a future MLB star?
Austin Jackson is doing better then Tabata right now.
He’s only a year older then Tabata. and he’s still pretty raw. Hasn’t played a lot of baseball.
Tabata has played a lot of baseball at least compared to how much Jackson has played.
Don’t get me wrong I still like Tabata but also think Jackson is the better overall prospect.
I was at the game last night. Chase pitched a gem. They were up 8-2 so he went out for the 8th and got hit a bit.
Tabata looks like a BEAST. AJax is a little wirey, but he looks quick. We’re going back on Sunday for McCutchen. That ought to be a blast. Oh, and Dave Robertson (I didn’t know who it was at the time) is so lights out it’s hilarious. They had 0% chance vs. him.
Anything to James Cooper’s .444 AVG so far? He doesn’t ever get accounted for much…what of him?
Gardner was 2-5 last night, not 1-5.
