  • Walks? We have 44, 3rd in the league. 
  • Some guys are hitting well; Wells (1.294 OPS), Gonzalez (1.145), Molina (.929 in just 6 at bats) and Lind (.866). Jose Bautista is getting on base well (.388) despite not hitting great (.194).

  • In the pen Downs and Gregg have been almost perfect. Camp and Janssen have been very good. Frasor...well you know. Valdez has only had the one poor appearance. 
  • We lead the league with 6 saves. And we've had two blown saves.
