Truth of the matter is that all good offensive teams end up leaving over a thousand runners on base each year. The better teams end up leaving more on base (because they put that many more on base to begin with).
Our line up is currently 3rd in both AVG and OBP, while we are only 8th in Runs. This is something that will even out over the course of the season. If we keep the AVG and OBP up its only a matter of time before the runs pour in. Is it frustrating to watch them score 2 runs on 12 hits? Of course. But remember even the Phillies, who scored the most runs last year, stranded the most base runners as well. Keep that in perspective.

Tonight was definitely a downer. To lose that game on a balk, especially after Wrights bomb, is disappointing to say the least. The new ballpark, while very nice in its offerings, is gonna take a few wins before I can call it home.
Quote of the night... "my sister's name is Jody". Seconds before he clobered the ball.

I think the benefits of hitting in front of Reyes would far outweigh the cost of a few lost ABs. He would see better quality pitches hitting in front of Reyes rather than the pitcher, and he would certainly benefit from that.

Castillo should bat 9th- think about it for a sec. It gives him protection hitting in front of Reyes. He becomes a 2nd leadoff guy- which maximizes him OBP (his one redeeming quality).
Castillo won't get anything to hit in the 8 hole and we will get extremely frustrated watching his automatic outs.

That sentence is just hilarious in so many ways. You are either consistent, or you aren't. Doing anything "at points" is by definition the opposite of consistency.
