Yup...we were discussing this yesterday. He and AGon are essentially the same player this year...crazy.

Yes sir.

Loney this year: .297/.354/.462

Gonzalez this year: .298/.355/.463

The biggest difference is that one of these players is making 21 million dollars this year and the other one is making just 2 million. I think we all know which is which.

Even going further than that.

Loney: .165 ISO, .317 BABIP, .351 wOBA, 127 wRC+
Gonzalez: .165 ISO, .315 BABIP, .349 wOBA, 128 wRC+

Loney just has a better Line Drive % (29.2 AGon has 22.5).

Crazy how similiar they are this far into the year.

Re: 6/17 - 6/23 Game Discussion Thread

Yeah, that is pretty insane.

Not to mention that Gonzalez has a waaaaaay better lineup around him, too.

Minnesota and Detroit do their job for us. Now to wait for Tampa, Seattle, and St. Louis.

And add Tampa to that list. Just 5 games out of 1st, 3 games out of 2nd and wildcard.

And Fernando Rodney strikes out the side to earn the save, the 150th of his career.

I wonder if teams will stop walking Cabrera to get to Fielder, it always seems to backfire, but then again, so does pitching to Cabrera

Marlins extend their dominance of ATT Park.

10-1 there (only loss was yesterday in extra innings) since the 2011 season as they take this series 3-1.

The Giants bullpen is a mess right now...

Matt Harvey is a beast. I knew before the game even started today that the Phillies had no chance of beating him.

Rays back home in Tampa tomorrow night facing the red hot Blue Jays. Should be a good game. Looking forward to it.

Based on how Jays played against O's, I'd hope Jays could sweep Rays, but realistically I see series being 2-1, just don't know for who(obviously I'd hope it's for Jays,especially considering the extra win in this series will help alot going into 4 game series against both Red Sox and Tigers(scheduling I find horrible,back to back 4 game series)
