Good Times

Good Times


Just because Andy Sonnanstine has left the rotation doesn't mean he's left our hearts. With no Rays game tonight, we dedicate this GDT to Boom Boom Sonnanstine and the Durham Bulls. Gameday available at dbulls.com

For some reason I missed that they were playing at home tonight and he was pitching

so I won’t be there, but fortunately we do get home games on TV here so I’ll try to give some updates on how he looks.

Hellickson pitching tomorrow, hopefully he will be in Durham soon.

I know this is a GDT so OT but

no one reads fan shots, what is everyone’s thoughts about Ryan Freel. I’d love to add him, he just got DFA’d and he is more flexible than Dillon.

NONONONO

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

More Flexible Defensively maybe

But Dillon is more of a lefty hitting specialist. Not even close. There has been too much Dillon hate around here.

Freel wouldn't bat either

And where would Freel's AB's come from?

Left Field? No. Center? No. Right? No. Third? No. Short? No. Second? No.

so he cost more is that what you are saying?

if that is the case I could understand not wanting to make the move.

by Dbullsfan on Jul 2, 2009 7:02 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm saying he's a really bad player at offense and defense over the last three years.

One that is surviving off his name.

Joe Dillon has provided more value this season than Freel has over the last three years combined.

We have plenty of OF options anyways.

Aybar can take over at 2B allowing Zobrist to shift out, or Gross, or Kapler, or Burrell. It’s not like when Shawn Riggans played an inning out there last year.

De Los Santos with 8 IP of 1 run ball with 1 BB with 0 Ks

Niemann would be proud

better than 5 IP 13 K and 120 pitches.

I think both Kaz and Price could use a lesson in pitching to contact as opposed to trying to strike everyone out.

by Dbullsfan on Jul 2, 2009 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

8 IP 1 run ball with 0 K is awesome

but not sustainable.

Brignac at SS again

I was really hoping he would spend more time at 2B.

Drew Sutton called up by Reds

Isn’t he the other player in “The Zobrist Code”?

Like Ron Artest?

Houston is going to run out a D-League team next year, Jesus Kobe, Pao, and Artest, with a host of complimentary players, that is nasty.
