Joyce's last 11 games (including tonight)

[tdawg87]

.281/.395/.469

 

Just saying. His overall stats look like crap, but it's certainly possible that he has turned the corner. If he hits like this or even close to it for the rest of the year we will be in much better shape.

Thanks, Jerry!

Mine's better.

[Stradling]

Yes, I don't know how to find stats like that from my phone.

[Erstad Grit]

It's like a mid season acquisition! 

[HeavenlyHalos]

A few of those hits have been to opposite field too. If he does more of that, it would help tremendously.

[Lou]

Mine's better.

 

he steals from Fletcher,too

Cute

[VariousCrap]

I'll take this improved Joyce, but I honestly believe the team needs better than that from LF.

[seenoevil]

He's had a cute little run

When you find a player with better than an . 864 OPS for trade let us know.

David Murphy ?

David Murphy ?

Not cute.

If Joyce can do this for awhile, I would take tonight's lineup.  We scored 4 runs off Kashner and Richards didn't pitch all that well.  I'd like to see what happens with Iannetta at DH for a few games.  This would, however, require Freese and Pujols to actually do something besides suck.

why do i feel like i'm missing something here?

So today the new guy gets here, maybe Kraus is sent down, Cowgill to the DL, call up Bandy, let Iannetta DH, carry three catchers?

[Oz27]

Joyce and Iannetta were always going to return to something near their career norms and that is clearly happening. Whether that's enough to make our offense not suck is another question.

Iannetta at .125 in his last 7 games still has a ways to go but his May BA of .256 is welcome.

Time to sell high!

[Hardc0reFromDaStreetz]

Too little too late. The teams pitching has now gone down the tunes as expected and they have found other ways to lose. This is a pattern we should all be used to.

yep, right down the tunes

 

TEAM ERA

 

April  = .383

 

May   = .359

[Stradling]

Yes, because one start of giving up 5 runs means the pitching has gone down the tubes. (to his defense he said tunes: obligatory) You realize that the pitching staff gave up zero runs in 9 innings, right?

[Hardc0reFromDaStreetz]

And then the bullpen was hammered for 4 runs in 1 inning. The bullpen also gave up 3 runs and blew a lead the night before that. Then the 2 games before that they were embarrassed by the red sox and hammered hard. Not sure what you guys are watching but the pitching is going down the tunes and it's obvious.

[Stradling]

What exactly is down the tunes
