          So who would have thought that when the Dodgers got Adrian Gonzalez in exchange for James Loney that a year later they would essentially be having the same season offensively? Loney really surprising me that he has kept it up after his hot start.

            Well 2013 Gonzalez is still far better than 2012 Loney. I would still expect some regression from Loney. He hasn't been lucky from a BABIP perspective but his HR/FB is high considering his average fly ball distance.

              Yes, but I'm just comparing 2013 Gonzo to 2013 Loney. Loney has the 2nd highest line drive % in baseball this year (29%) and continues to square it up. I'm not suggesting they are the same player and in the long run, yes, AGon will be the better player, but a year ago I thought Loney was going to be Casey Kotchman.

                Yeah, I'll agree that it's surprising, although I'll note that Loney has always had a high line drive rate. They must be soft line drives or he must be really slow, because his career BABIP doesn't make sense with his batted ball profile.

                      There's nothing like Big Mo!

                      Nice to see Bautista get into the act as he's been very silent through this winning streak.

                        O'day is a moron for talking trash at Bautista last night. Hitting that home run made the win even sweeter.

                            I noticed the Yankees had Jeffrey Maier in the outfield today.

                            And we are now out of the basement. When was the last time Tampa was 5th this late? I'm guessing Devil Ray era.

                              Wonder if anything will happen tomorrow between the two teams. Maybe instead of intentionally walking Bautista, they try throwing near his head?


                              Yesterday O'Day got "last laugh" after striking out Bautista and saying (something like "Go Sit down!". Followed by Bautista being like "What'd you say!What'd you say!What'd you say!") and now today, Bautista gets game winning home run off him. 1-1 score now, tomorrow has to be tiebreaker lol.

                              Due to Yankees winning, Jays now in 4th. Short term that Yankees win was good, but I'd have preferred Rays winning so that it'd be even easier to catch up to 3rd place. lol 1 game ABOVE .500 and last in the division. Only in the AL East...(that same record would be good for 2nd in NL East and 3rd in NL West by half a game

                                Well, they've done some damage, just not in the way you were hoping.
