MLB Game Wrap
This week I am faced with the prospect of pushing back not just one, but two excellent food-and-drink posts, both of which concern material that I find myself much more interested in than baseball at this point of this season, frankly. So I will once again try to get out of the way and tell you to go read those posts just below here instead. As for today, I'll just say that even I can't complain about taking three of four from Chicago in Chicago.
Hitter of the Week: I'm going to pick the Iceman, just because, since I make my offensive stat charts in sets of eight games and today's game was the start of a new set, I'm going to get a kick out of Iceman's three times reached out of four PAs today keeping him on the top of the chart for a whole week after this, as he won't appear again on this set unless someone else gets hurt.
Pitcher of the Week: I think I liked Brian Duensing and his two very nice starts this week the most.
i gotta say, i still don't see the logic of bumping the iceman, and bringing up plouffe! with both hughes and tolbertin' tolbert on the roster.
Plouffe has been playing outfield in Rochester,so I guess he's the what, 5th outfielder + utility infielder who Gardy doesn't trust to grind it out at short? And yeah, Tolbert could go somewhere far, far away and I wouldn't miss him a bit.
