it's just refreshing to have that spot in the lineup not be a complete dead zone

Woo! another stolen base for Villar.

This is what I have been expecting from Villar, getting on base and stealing bases.

Biggio has a great eye, which is great. And he's patient at the plate - great.

But I think he takes too many 3rd strike pitches. If it's close, you have to protect the plate. And I always want to see players be aggressive.

Dan was right, Biggio is almost too passive or selective in situations like that. Gotta get a bit more aggressive with runners in scoring position and 2 outs, protect the plate a bit more. Once he gets that dialed in he'll be a pretty lethal hitter.

So, I'm assuming Espinal is not available to pitch tonight?

Biggio has a great eye, but he's got to be more aggressive with two strikes, especially with men on base and in a one run game.

Get the bat off the shoulder kid, that was too close to take. A backwards K does #### all with two guys in scoring position.

Bass was slinging it in the 8th. Hopefully Dolis is on tonight too.
