Super excited to see where Arcia hits in the lineup. Guessing if Braun is still out he'll hit 2nd otherwise if Braun is in there I'll say 7th

[Funketown]

...and, there's my excuse to stay up and watch the game while pretending to work late tonight.

[wildcat83]

Hopefully just an off night for Broxton. Would rather see him get the pt over Captain Kirk in CF the rest of the way out. Hopefully we don't see anymore of the duck and cover approach to catching fly balls that we saw last night.

[reillymcshane]

Villar picked off to start the game.

[FVBrewerFan]

Someone may want to send a memo to broadcast crew. Half pronouncing Arcia properly, half not. Guessing Auggie will call him Akea.

[valpocrewsader]

Nice conscientious play by Arcia. Mighta been tempting to take the easy force out at first there on his first MLB defensive chance. Good decision, well executed, got the lead runner over at third. Making the Padres pay for Jankowski's running mistake. Welcome to the bigs!

It's not intuitive, so I can see the slip-ups. Still, Oswaldo's been around for a while. Bill's getting it right about half the time. But Augie will never get it, and Coshun will never get it.

DFA Arcia

[TURBO]

Villar picked off to start the game.

Arcia's batting stance makes him look like a pitcher up there.

[wildcat83]

Seems like a very long swing. Has he struck out at a high rate in the minors?

[1992casey]

Nice job by Davies getting out of the 2nd with runners on first and third with nobody out. Of course, it didn't hurt when Rondón was called out for hitting the ball twice.

[brewcrewdue80]

Arcia's batting stance makes him look like a pitcher up there.

 

About 60lbs less though on his frame. Looking more like a 16yr old up there...except he swings with the force of a man all of 22.

[adambr2]

Wow. That inside strike call to Maldonado had to be one of the worst called strikes I've ever seen

[brewcrewdue80]

Seems like a very long swing. Has he struck out at a high rate in the minors?

 

His K rate has risen over the last season plus. I thought he was near even bb/k. His k rate is still below 25% and that is partly why they expect he'll maintain his batting numbers between minors and majors.

[wildcat2237]

Luis Perdomo has an era over 6.00 pitching in Petco, how does that happen?

[MrTPlush]

Luis Perdomo has an era over 6.00 pitching in Petco, how does that happen?

 

Small sample size(26innings at home), sky high WHIP, and what appear to be a bit of bad luck. Also mind you he isn't strictly a starter. They have bounced him to the bullpen too.

[wildcat2237]

Stay hot Perez.

[adambr2]

I'm really sick of the 3-0 green light on this team. It's a terrible statistical move and it never seems to work for us.

[adambr2]

Brinson 4 for 4 with a double and steal in his Colorado Springs debut.

[pacopete4]

Two at bats and I can't stand Arcia's stance. Just seems like a very uneccessary way to bat.

[FVBrewerFan]

He knows Arcia is graduating soon from bf.net top 25, shooting for #1 spot.

[Ennder]

Two at bats and I can't stand Arcia's stance. Just seems like a very uneccessary way to bat.

 

I don't like just about anything about Arcia offensively. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see him becoming a plus with the bat. All his value will need to come from the glove.

[1992casey]

These FOX sports sound effects are a distraction. Two of them just interrupted Sophia's comments, blocking out a couple of words and causing us to essentially miss the meaning of an entire sentence.

 

In the same vein, putting graphics on top of highlights defeats the purpose of showing the highlights.
