Brotha Latino tees one up nicely. Has the lil quick bat toss (bullfighter-style) going on right away.

Not a cheap one. Goes deep, and he didn't celebrate early on this one. He's stronger than people think. They can keep thinking what they want. Last edited by SCUDSBROTHER : 08-08-2009 at 07:25 PM.

Pretty swing yields a double off the archway. 15 game hitting streak!
Knew you could do this.

Monday night, he went 1 for 4 (infield single off Loretta's glove at 1st base.) To be honest, if Loney had been playing 1st base, I think he would of handled the bad hop. His hitting streak ended (at 16 games) Tuesday Night (0 for 3.) He got an RBI by grounding a ball to the 2nd baseman. In his 4th at bat, they say he got hit by a pitch (to me it was a weird call, but maybe I was sleepy.) He dropped the ball at 2nd base (the throw from the pitcher) on an easy double play. It was a big point in the game. He's o.k. to play the outfield, but he is not a good 2nd baseman. Bochey tried to play 4 outfielders. Not sure why. Maybe Freddy Sanchez is a lil banged up. Velez has looked tight against the Dodgers (believe me the Giants, period, have looked tight against the Dodgers the last 2 games.) Dodgers can't hit good pitching, but they can sure hit the cookies that the Giants' pitchers have been tossing up there. It was exactly what the Dodgers were desperately needing (to face some bad pitching.) I don't think the Dodgers have pitched that well, but the Giants (including Velez) have looked uncomfortable at the plate. To be honest, this is the unfortunate history of Bochey-managed teams (very tight, with the bats, in big games.) Velez has never really hit the Dodgers much. He has pressured them into mistakes, and used his speed to get on base. He's still hitting .323 on the year. He has to keep his average above the .300 mark, or he will sit. Others are better on D. So, if he ain't hitting really good, then the Pharaoh will be put back in the tomb. He's on a short leash. If he struggles the next 2 or 3 games, then Coach@club will come out of nowhere to join us once again (I can guarantee that.)

Quick trivia question (courtesy of 950 ESPN last week) before I go balls deep into this Iggs/Jags game.
What two players in history have 4 consecutive seasons of 45+ hr's and 130+ rbi's? Ryan Howard will soon join this bunch if he pulls it off this year.
