When Alvarez actually making contact with a ball pops up in the game notes, you know the bar is set pretty low

Thanks, Randy. I’m okay. Just on a lot of meds. Concussion, neck and back strain, swollen jaw from hitting the steering wheel. Will be back covering the team today.

That is a miserable group of production. I did however see a spark of confidence last night from Pedro and Barajas – both showed nice pitch recognition for once, and absolutely ripped the ball several times just good defense. Barmes at this point has me wishing for Ronny Cedeno, I have been unimpressed with his defense and even with an occassional bunting episode, Ronny hit .230-.260 with at times spectacular defense…
That’s really meaningless though as compared to what a confident and productive Pedro would mean to the club. Fingers crossed that he’ll work out of it, I’ve always been a supporter and I wish him success!

Hard hit ball? Talk about lowering expectations. 6-7-8 batters were all 0 fers. Barajas, Alvarez and Barmes are all under .100! That’s hard to do.

Hopefully Kristy is doing okay. Saw on twitter she was in a car accident.

Opposite field loud out or not, Pedro still looks awful.

Is Hanrahan on his way to SF? Or did he really tweak his hammie?
