Looks like folks are observing a GZ of silence in your honor today.  Happy birthday Mrs. Doe!!!

At the end of June he was at .365/.448/.699. In July he has gone .204/.381/.265, leaving him at .342/.438/.638 for the year. His last HR was June 30.

He was bouncing around .300 until he caught fire at the beginning of May. From May 2 to May 18, he hit .565/.625/1.065 (!) to get his average up to .399. I think that's as high as it's been this season.

I think JD was wrong earlier when he stated that these game films wouldn't be used for an instructional video. He was just thinking about it the wrong way.

Yeah but Stros threw the bucket of runs that is Hernandez.  It would have been nice to pull out a win.

Huh? Hernandez and the rest held PIT to 2 runs through 8 innings. What's wrong with that?
