But Willie B. has totally killed his chance for becoming the 3rd 'No Stick.' I never liked the guy, don't know how he stuck with the team, but somehow he is hitting almost .500 over the past week, with 5 doubles. He has absolutely been raking off the righties. But yeah, I figured I'd give some props to everyone's favorite whipping boy, even though I'm sure he will be back to normal soon.
Another side note that probably doesn't deserve its own thread, but apparently Mike Morse had hit his inevitable slump two weeks ago according to a lot of people (including myself). Turns out all he probably needed was a day or two off (that Bloomie gave him of course). He still has a .368 OBP in July, and he is hitting .357 over the past week. I figured once he hit his slump he would start to fade because it is hard to understand how he gets so many hits with his questionable bat speed, but he is still ripping singles like a guy who was hitting .253 in AAA has no business doing.
And once last quick side note, Nagz is officially back *****es and he is taking names racking up those three inning saves in Tacoma to the tune of 8 K's in 7.1 IP.
