2011 Fantasy Baseball Daily Fix: Adam (Gone With The) Lind Is Back & On Fire
The Phillies top four of Victorino, Polanco, Utley and Howard reached base 13 times against James McDonald and the Buccos. Despite scoring seven runs and winning handily, the Phils left 25 men on base.
Tyler Colvin, AKA captain 0'fer, is back in the bigs. He's 0-15 since being recalled and his .091 BA is stellar work. Perhaps he needs a return to Clemson to re-find his stroke.Newsflash to the national media:
Allen Craig is hitting .340. Give the dude some love. Ian Kinsler is 0-19 over his last five games. His 35 BB are the only thing making him a productive commodity right now (.345 OBP). His double play partner, Elvis Andrus, notched his third HR and 22 RBI of the year off Mitch Talbot. Andrus hit zero homers and drove in 35 all of last season. Carl Crawford has found his sea legs in Boston. Since a .155 April he's hitting .317 over a 33-game span. He blasted a 2nd inning three-run homer off left-hander Brett Anderson and drove in eight runs in the three game series.With Jonathan Papelbon unavailable,
Daniel Bard recorded his 5th career save on eight pitches.Yes,
Mark Reynolds hit his 9th homer of the season; but how long can a sub-200 hitter stick around the majors? His at-bats are terrifying to behold.After going 28 starts without a W,
Jo-Jo Reyes pitched 6 1/3 solid innings in Baltimore to earn the victory in consecutive starts. Ryan Raburn smacked a grand slam for his first RBI's since May 9th. His 8:59 BB:K ratio isn't particularly handsome. Tyler Clippard struck out six Diamondbacks during a 2 1/3-inning relief stint. Not a bad effort from the herky jerky right-hander with a vulcan change-up.You can’t stop the Mariners, you can only hope to contain them. The boys from the “Emerald City” are 14-4 in their last 18. Who knew?
R.A. Dickey was masterful in the win over Tim Hudson & the Braves. Dickey pitched eight innings and gave up 1 run off 4 hits.
