Davis is starting tonight in what will be his last game before he has his cancerous thyroid removed. It could be a “feel good” story, but we should spoil it!
C-Bill needs to bring his “A-Game” Period!
Since outfielders are generally regarded as offensive players, I have been thinking about what we could do to have our outfield only manned with .300 hitters and I finally have it figured out. Here’s the Lineup:RF - .308 is what Andre Ethier is hitting
LF - .333 is what Chin-lung Hu is hitting and therefore, he should play LF (I know he’s never played there, but he’s a good athlete and can handle it)
CF - .358 is what our Centerfielders will be hitting. Of course, I have to check with the Commisioners’s Office to see if it’s OK for Pierre, Jones and Kemp to ALL play there (their COMBINED batting averages add up to .358 - Pretty Good, Huh? Not many CF’s hit that well - we really have it gone on, don’t we?)
Did our outfielders get the memo? Spring Training is over.
Dylan Hernandez of the LA TIMES has this to write about Kemp:
(Mike) Easler, who says he knows Kemp “like the back of my hand,” declared that this rough patch would benefit him in the long run.“He’s going to be a superstar,” Easler said. “He’s destined for greatness. But every hitter, these kids here, the Uptons, the Youngs, the Howards, they’ve gone through what Matt’s going through.”
Kent is still a factor - He looks like he comes to play every day. Our bullpen evidently read what I wrote about them yesterday … and believed it! Quit reading and pitch! Like Eric Karros, used to say:
But, it would be good if we started getting it together…
