Gathwright as 2nd hitter
I guess we can mark that off our list of options. I think he’s best as the #9, where he can’t get us into so much trouble. He’s been awful in the key “gritty” ABs usually reserved for your Gruds type slap hitters.

Soria translates better to the rotation than anyone else on the staff. The “fooled you” aspects of Bannister with the stuff of Greinke. No reason to waste him pitching every 4 days for one inning when he can go 6-8 every 5.

Another Gathright slam
don’t know if seeing it on TV can give you the full appreciation, so next time you are at the game in person, take a good look at how shallow and how close to the line the left fielders have been playing Joey. It’s comical.
If this were slow pitch, they would draw a line in the OF and make the left fielder play behind it for him…

buck was off the left field pole
aviles was into the left field seats. both were definitely gone when hit, but not amazing towering, they got out but weren’t real staggering shots.
