And what if Rollins got hurt, they'd have the worst left side of the infield of all-timeChrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916886897529770251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295797.post-1156798563107273212006-08-28T16:56:00.000-04:002006-08-28T16:56:00.000-04:00You are aware that for most of the season, Nunez has been struggling to stay above a .400 OPS, right? That as of July 16, he had a .355 OPS? And has needed a scorching .572 OPS July and .609 (to date) OPS in August to get to the heights of a .500 OPS?<BR/><BR/>When you saw that .535 OPS, that was about his <I>high water mark</I> for the season (actually after the next game, he was .544).<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/gamelog?playerId=3725" REL="nofollow">ESPN game log</A><BR/><BR/>He is 5-39 as a pinch hitter... after starting something like 1-23. He was into June before he got his first RBI of the season... this after 27 AB, many of which came with men on base.<BR/><BR/>If you think his current stats look bad... just be thankful you haven't been watching all year. This is as <I>good</I> as he's looked.<BR/><BR/>It is nice to have someone to share the pain with though ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295797.post-1156797983380625082006-08-28T16:46:00.000-04:002006-08-28T16:46:00.000-04:00He's played pretty well in August, with a lofty .609 OPS thus far for the month. That's .99 higher than his season OPS. AMAZING! And he drew a BB today. Ugh. I hope he sprains his whole body while running onto the field for warmups tomorrow night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295797.post-1156789803603706532006-08-28T14:30:00.000-04:002006-08-28T14:30:00.000-04:00The dude was fucking INSERTED into the lineup after 4 months of horrible play. INSERTED INTO THE LINEUP<BR/><BR/>Somehow, Chris Coste has played 3B in the past but hasn't seen a start there..maybe Jeff Conine will see some time. Even he is an upgrade.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14916886897529770251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9295797.post-1156780247072728052006-08-28T11:50:00.000-04:002006-08-28T11:50:00.000-04:00You know what's sad?
