Bottom of 3

Lead-off hitter R Davis hits 3BH8(9) 8-6-5 safe. FAN590 Radio Play by Play co-host Alan Ashby mentions the no-hit 5 seconds before the pitch --- WHAM! Next batter ruins the 3 game no run streak with a 6-3 ground out that scores the hit.


Bottom of the 8th

We've all heard the expression 'You could tell it was a home run by the sound of the bat hitting the ball." Well I'd always thought I knew what that meant, in fact I was sure I heard it, but until I heard the sound of Encarnacion's bat hitting the ball squarely for the third HR of the 8th inning, I hadn't heard that most distinctive of sounds. Clear like the ring of a bell, it had a tone I've never heard before - like an exceptionally load snap of the fingers.

I was busy at the keyboard and I didn't even look up, I just typed in the 'HR' in the little box... .


Post Game

Now I'm not saying any of the following is well thought out but two things:

1.  Eric Thames
2.  Rajia Davis

Eric Thames is looking very comfortable in a major league uniform, and hitting the ball more often now with what looks like great authority -  well it changes everything. Eric Thames is a young man who looks and caries himself a lot older than he is, but without this new metric piling all kinds of expectation on him, what about this line-up:


1.  C Patterson LF
2.  R Davis CF
3.  E Thames RF
4.  J Bautista 3B
5.  A Lind 1B
6.  J Arencibia C
7.  E Encarnacion DH
8.  A Hill 2B
9.  J McDonald SS

Rajia Davis' play today, hitting the ball away, plus a fine at-bat in the 8th, shows he wants to hit higher in the order and 'Rickey Henderson' this League, and by the looks of it he could - he stole with impunity on the Phillies battery today. 
Putting him 2nd gives him the opportunity to get some at bats in lad-off type situations and moving Bautista down to the 4 stop, and Thames up to the 3 spot takes the pressure off the top of the order and adds to the possibility of a big inning and more team RBI.
