Luckily for Boston Pennington is worse than Ogando is tonight.

 

[SDig14]

I just want him to use the entire baseball field. When he does, that average will get closer to his career near .300 batting average. I really believe this.

Ya, doesn't seem like he's seeing it well, so ideally yes he would use the whole field to get out of it.

Tough to say what gets him out of it, bit I'm confident the hits will come. And in bunches.

 

[mikeyz]

what does "pull" mean? (is this baseball speak for hit?)
also. thank you for explaining what you mean. i appreciate it.

It means you go the other way.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Pennington is pretty bad.

 

[EpochLink]

Pennington, dat defensive presence

 

[BertCorbeau]

Pennington is pretty bad.

I thought he'd hit at least .150 though ... Yikes he can't hit

Also, thank the Red Sox for having Panda at 3rd. Even covering the runner, a fielder like Donaldson has that Tulo grounder and it becomes a GIDP pretty easily.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Nevermind, I remember now.

 

[trellaine201]

Why not hold osuna? We have a game tomorrow.

His career numbers are just too good. I can't see going to the Rogers center is going to hurt his stats. His defence is terrific, I don't focus as much on his hitting as some due to this. I appreciate good defence from a baseball perspective. He will hit. He doesn't have to focus on hitting homers in this line up. So once he starts using the entire field, I can certainly see his average going up.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Did they actually chose to keep him over Valencia? Or how did that situation go down. I'm foggy on that.

They grabbed Pennington after Valencia was let go

 

[Daisy Jane]

Why Osuna?

 

[Tony Romo]

Why not hold osuna? We have a game tomorrow.

Was warming up for a while and was the only one warming up i'm pretty sure.

 

[KarmaPolice]

I remembered after I posted that. You're a ninja to respond so quickly, because I edited that pretty fast.

But thanks.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Why Osuna?

They didn't anticipate scoring 4 runs that inning, so he was the only reliever they had warming up

Don't jinx it dude.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

A clean inning for Osuna will be good for his confidence.

 

[BertCorbeau]

1 more to go!

 

[KarmaPolice]

Why Osuna?

No messing around, I guess. Osuna can still go tomorrow. Besides, he hasn't played in a while, and it's probably best to give him a bit of action so as not to get too cold.

 

[trellaine201]

A clean inning for Osuna will be good for his confidence.

Very true.

Boy was that a rollercoaster of emotions.

The AL East balance is restored.

 

[Nasty Nazem]

Yay Jays win.
