Well

With Jarrod seeing so many pitches and everything, he’ll be a good leadoff hitter for us tonight.

I don't get the chance to watch a lot

because of my work schedule, but that was a pretty fine barehanded catch and throw by Davis, even though he couldn’t get the runner…has he been playing good 3B since the switch?

"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"

by Bob Loblaw on Sep 1, 2008 7:24 PM CDT   0 recs

yes

he hasnt looked out of place at all.
not gold glove or anything, but he looks like he could hold down the position if it best suited the club he do so.

if they need him at 3b to keep him in the lineup i think its viable. at least for now.

by DSheppard on Sep 1, 2008 7:26 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I was quite worried

the move would hinder his development…but as TR pointed out, it didn’t hurt Pujols.

"Does this effectively hide my thunder?"

by Bob Loblaw on Sep 1, 2008 7:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Good enough

He hasn’t really botched any plays or made any big rookie mistakes over there. I don’t really think he should stay over there long term, but it’s nice to know he can play there when he needs to.

But it still sucked.

Lead-off double, bad base-running and then a weird out. We’re lucky we scored at all this inning.

It is hard to find out what is really happening,

in the game when not as many people are commenting. At the beginning of the season having gameday and the game thread on I pretty much knew what was going on.

by psmitty on Sep 1, 2008 7:34 PM CDT   0 recs

on Nellie's out

he grounded a ball that stopped right in front of the plate….he thought it was foul and the umpire called it fair and he was tagged out by catcher
