Glad to see Rizzo in there. He is something obscene like 14 of 28 with a fist full of homers against Peralta.

It would be nice to see some power from Rizzo and Zobrist, hasn't been much there as of late. Rizzo has been hitting like .375 the last few weeks so that's a very tiny complaint.

Tonight the role of the Jugs Machine will be played by: Jason Hammel.

This reminds me of the games once or twice a year a few years back Carlos Zambrano would have where he would just get shelled from the first pitch.

What's more predictable: The sun comes up tomorrow or Jason Hammel will blow chunks in the second half?

Hammel has been pretty damn good so far in the second half, sans a few starts. That being said, hes definitely putting himself in a position to not be on the roster come playoffs.

He's been great in the second half, unlike himself.

That being said, all offseason, he talked about how he was changing how he prepared himself so he could perform well in the second half.

Obviously it worked, but only for about a month.

With all the six man rotation talk maybe just removing Hammel makes more sense.
