Ryan Braun is currently leading all NL outfielder

 

outfielders in the voting for the All-Star game in St. 

 

Louis.  Vote for him, Ian, and Youk early and often! 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s hope that some of our guys had All-Star performances!

 

 

Brad Ausmus, C – Los Angeles Dodgers

Brad didn’t play in the Dodgers loss to the Phillies.  

 

Ryan Braun, OF, 3B – Milwaukee Brewers

Ryan went 2-for-4, hit his 11th double and scored a run in

the Brewers loss to the Marlins.  Ryan raised his average

to .316 and earned a Chai 5.

                   

 

Craig Breslow, P – Oakland A’s

Craig didn’t pitch in the A’s shut out of the White

Sox.                     

 

Scott Feldman, P – Texas Rangers

Scott earned himself a pastrami sandwich at

Katz’s Deli for his performance against the

Yankees!  Come, sit, eat!!!

 

 

John Grabow, P, Pittsburgh Pirates

John didn’t pitch in the Pirates win over the

Mets.  

                       

Gabe Kapler, OF – Tampa Bay Rays

Gabe didn’t play in the Rays win over the

Royals.  That means his average is still 

.176, which is way below the Mendoza

Line.  

 

 Ian Kinsler, 2B – Texas Rangers

Ian went 1-for-4, hitting his 14th homer of

the year, a solo shot, walked and

scored 2 runs in the Rangers loss to the

Yankees.  His average remained at .282.

 

 

Jason Marquis, P – Colorado Rockies

Jason is probably looking at video of his victories this year in

an effort to get back on track after taking the loss in

Wednesday’s start against the Astros,

 

 

Scott Schoeneweis, P – Arizona Diamondbacks

Scott is currently dealing with the unexpected loss of  his wife.  My prayers are with him. 

              

Kevin Youkilis, 1B, 3B – Boston Red Sox

Youk went 0-for-1, but drew a bases loaded

walk in the 3rd inning and came around to

score in the Red Sox win over the Tigers. 

Boston scored all 6 of their runs during that

inning.  His average fell to .362.

 

Youk, who left Wednesday’s game with a

bruised ankle after a collision at first, came out

in the fourth inning with tightness in his right

calf. The team said the move was strictly

precautionary.

 

                    

Macher (Big Shot) of the Day  –  Ian Kinsler
