EWS for Matos.... His bat is Hot!

How many hits with Men on Base compared with the empty calories SOLER LOL and how many chances each I bet it is actaully amazing how bad SOLER is with Men on Base.

Luis does NOT want to go back to Sac. Harry cruising so far....and really nice double from Luci leading off the second.

Not watching the game yet, but I needed to comment…

tz, shouldn’t this thread have been titled “Blach is the old Black”?

Now SOLER actually gets a double with Men on Base... I bet his batting average with Men on Base soared with that one hit LOL.

I see what you did there...

This whole time we just needed an infusion of rookies to help us along. It also helped enough to put that needed pressure on our regulars.

very disappointing third inning by Harry.

 

[msgkings322]

It’s the Matos Show today, great catch. Good thing too with Lee done for the year

 

[msgkings322]

3rd trip through the order and it shows. Harrison might crack here

 

[msgkings322]

Whew!

 

[tzill]

Harry less than excellent today. Good thing Matos is on a "you can't send me back down" drive.

 

[Sandisfan]

SOLER back to normal hitting into a double play the guy we've come to know and love

P.S. went to another TAB forgot to hit send button for about 15 minutes LOL

 

[msgkings322]

Like I said last Rockies series, too bad we can’t play them every week

Matos channeling Jeff Kent….the money lies with the RBIs. 11 in 2 days

 

[Sandisfan]

With the Three Rookies in a row obviously we don't need them we need experienced(old) players. Need more Soler performances of course after all Soler has improved his hitting with Men on Base today so what need for these Kids. (Sarc. tag) FZ should get them all back to Sacramento as soon as possible so we can have that experience.

Of course, this streak that Matos is on cannot continue for long, but it sure is enjoyable while it is happening!

Had 'em all the way?

 

[Brightboat]

Matos is giving them the spark they need. Chapman is finally starting to hit as well
