Let's hope moving Kole to leadoff ignites him a bit as it did Maybin.

Cameron Maybin (knee) said Friday that he expects to return to the lineup Saturday.

Also everyone's favorite player will be running the bases this weekend.

[Broad Street]

I don't think Espinosa will be doing much running. More like walking back to the dugout.

[nando714]

Not expecting much this series. 

Calhoun, Trout, Pujols have all hit straily well though

When is Cron eligible to return from AAA ? Marte, Valbuena not working out.

Valbuena and Marte both play multiple positions. Cron can't. Unless Cron shows unmistakable offensive superiority with power, he's not coming back any time soon.

Cron has had a good week in AAA. But Jeff Mathis put up strong batting numbers in AAA. And so has Cowart. But SLC is at about 4,000 feet, so power is hard to read there.

I think you're wrong. Our offense is our weak spot, not defense, plus Cron has been playing better 1B than Marte. Marte is an automatic out lately.

Valbuena and Marte both are hitting 60 points lower than Cron and haven't shown much power either. Cron can hit with power and he has proven it.

GO HALOS!!! Go Jesse Chavez!!!

Start a new winning streak, Jesse, and help pull the team back over .500! Get a hit of your own!

Go Mike Trout!!!! Haul in some trophy-size Marlins!!! Make a splash in the Miami fish tank!!!!

Go Albert!!! 598! 598! 598!

Go Kole Calhoun!! Shake it up and shake it off, Red! Climb out of the ditch and make serious contact!!!

Get those turf knees back in shape, Maybin!!

1,000-plus viewers are connected to the pregame show on Facebook right now.

The picture resolution looks good for the talking heads segment,

Hope it holds up for the game video.

Humbled is one thing....worst player with regular AB's in either league is beyond humbled...and running him out there every day isn't smart or helpful....

I feel your pain but running him out there has to happen. 

[nando714]

Calhoun is who we thought he was

Danny is 213 out of 213. But there are also 212, 211, 210 and counting back all the way to Trout and his crowd at the top. Lots of humble there..

The commentary is too real. It bums me out. 

[eligrba4ever]

Albert turned down a wave-through and stopped. Probably for the best.

[nando714]

Holy cow Albert 

that should be it for him this weekend after this game. 

[Troll Daddy]

Slow Albert ...  should of been rounding second before the ball hit the wall.
