Did I see Boesch DH? Wow!

[nando714]

Maybe BB will bring a spark to the offense?

[Angelsfirst]

Halos usually get it going against the NL. Minimal runners left in scoring position tonight please!

[KevinJ14]

Brennan Boesch ranked in PCL top 10 in: slugging (.625, 1st), OPS (1.006, 1st), BA (.326, 4th), 3B's (6, T6), HR (22, 6th) & RBI (75, 6th)

Freese is doing pretty well since July 1, and still hitting 8th, while Aybar is doing very poorly since July 1 and still hitting 5th.

Since the All-Star break:

Leadoff man with a .298 OBP

2nd hitter 31 K's in 23 games

3rd hitter 9 RBI's in 23 games

Cleanup hitter 32 K's & 4 BB's in 22 games

5th hitter .469 OPS!!!

6th hitter 4 RBI's in 23 games

7th hitter Please let this guy wear his Bees uniform

8th hitter 26K's in 22 games

9th hitter 19 K's in 18 games

 

Not one guy in the lineup hitting over .260 since ASB

4 guys averaging over a strikeout a game. 2 others averaging over .75 K's a game.

 

They're going to break out of this eventually (hopefully they get a normal Jerome tonight), but this is brutal.

that was painful to read

Freese is doing pretty well since July 1, and still hitting 8th, while Aybar is doing very poorly since July 1 and still hitting 5th.

Freese has a .307 OBP and a .665 OPS in his last 20 games. He had that decent streak in the first half of July, but his recent performance is pretty similar to what we saw earlier in the season. I'm fine with him where he is...or, you know, on the bench. If I'm moving anyone up it's Iannetta.

[QuinlansMinion]

Aybar still batting 5th is the biggest mystery for these lineups.  

[Jason]

Nice stress and irritation free evening yesterday. Hopefully they don't screw that up tonight

When you hit rock bottom there is only one way to go.

[Ohtaniland]

Awesome we get to play Philly!

 

Oh wait...

 

Since the break....

 

Philly .255 / 20hrs / 89rbi's / .685ops

 

Angels .223 / 14hrs / 68rbi's / .624ops

[Jason]

Hopefully Complete Junk "CJ" Wilson can go at least 5 innings tonight with less than 4 runs given up. I'll consider that progress.

[JAHV76]

They are honoring Fregosi tonight.

[laagamer]

I worrying that I should have gone out and bought a bottle...

Philly Fanatic at the Big A for the next pair of games.  Pretty cool.

Hahaha! Love the Always Sunny reference

Aybar hitting 5th is dumber than having him at leadoff.
