So is Calhoun a platoon player now? Got to get Cowgill in there so he can do nothing against another left hander. He was 1 for 7 vs Sale and Quintana.

Santiago in three starts at Salt Lake:

 

14 IP,  23 hits, 10 ER, 7 BB, 6.43 ERA

 

YIKES!

YIKES!

Maybe he was just working on throwing his screwball for strikes.

YIKES!

do you have a game by game to see if there was any improvement? i know he got hammered the first game.

[fan_since79]

I couldn't find that, but I'll keep looking.

[martinpa25]

I'm starting to get annoyed with sitting Kole against lefties...he's our starting right fielder..he's not awful against southpaws and as much as I like Cowgill he was crap this weekend against two leftys..Kole should not be sitting..

He got hammered in the first one, was much better in the 2nd, and then got hammered again in the 3rd and final one.

Grant Green with a 2-run homer last night for AAA Salt Lake.

perfect.  pattern says he'll be good tonight then.  that's logical, right?

and was muttering obscenities at Scioscia and Dipoto under his breath while he circled the bases, I'm sure.

Well I mean Sale and Quintana aren't just any left handers.

[full circle]

Conger starting against a lefty is surprising.

[moccasin]

Conger two nights in a row, even starting against a lefty. Maybe Scioscia has bought in.

[nando714]

I was excited to see Skaggs pitch tonight since I'll be at the stadium tonight

Now I want to give them away that Santiago is on the bump

Here's to a miracle win tonight

Hoping Cogners framing will help Hector cut down walks?

[stormngt]

Should Cowgill just sit the bench until injury?

Cowgill has done pretty well against lefties. I'm good with the platoon. He's earned it. 

[UndertheHalo]

Happy to see Conger getting a consecutive start.  Disappointed that Pujols still commands the 3 hole.

What are you talking about, Skaggs hasn't been very good for a while now.

He has a 5+ ERA since May 1st.

I am not saying that Santiago is going to do well but it's not like Skaggs is that much of an upgrade.

[70runner]

Pujols in the 3rd slot still annoying but vintage Scioscia

 

Freese hitting 5th...double ugh

 

Conger in there against LHP...cool

[martinpa25]

PLAY BALL!!!!!!

C'mon Hector!
