Bats
1. Matt LaPorta, CLE; 4 for 4, 2 2B, 4 RBI, R: Once the most coveted prospect in baseball, LaPorta has struggled to find his footing in the majors. It's gotta be tough when you get traded for CC Sabathia, a pitcher who is a better hitter than you.
2. Mark Reynolds, BAL; 2 for 5, HR, 2 RBI, R, SB: If this was 2009, this would be a pretty standard night for Reynolds (and yes, he did strike out). Mark has yet to take full advantage of the bandbox known as Camden Yards, and Buck has him batting eighth. Yikes.
3. ^Mike Stanton, FLA; 2 for 4, HR, RBI, BB, 2 R: That's homers in three of his last four games for Stanton, who also scored the winning run in the top of the 11th at Shea last night. Or whatever the fuck they call it.
4. Jose Reyes, NYM; 2 for 5, BB, 2 SB: With four steals in two games to go along with his .310 batting average, Jose is seriously ruining his chances of getting traded to the Angels.
5. Jed Lowrie, BOS; 2 for 4, 2B, 3B, RBI, 2 R: The fact that this guy has a job really bothers me. Lowrie, Stephen Drew and Jason Barlett can all blow me.
Arms
1. Colby Lewis, TEX; CG, 5 H, BB, 7 K, W. What is it, the ALCS or something? I haven't seen Lewis this sharp since the Yankees made him look like Walter Johnson in Games 2 and 6 last October. Actually, that's four strong starts in a row for the former ace of the Hiroshima Carp.
2. Tommy Hanson, ATL; 7 IP, 3 H, ER, BB,10 K, W. Hanson's ERA and WHIP have been impressive but now he's getting the credit for it. He's won his last four decisions after starting 1-3.
3. Michael Pineda, SEA; 7 IP, 3 H, 7 K, W. What a stellar start to a career for Pineda, all the more totally fucking awesome to watch because I chose Tyler Colvin in the 23rd round of a keeper draft over him.
4. Craig Kimbrel, ATL; IP, H, 3 K, SV. Let the dick riding continue.
5. Shaun Marcum, MIL; 7 IP, 5 H, ER, BB, 4 K, W. Roy Halladay, to ex-Blue Jays teammate Shaun Marcum, at least 20 times since opening day- "Told ya this National League thing was easy."
