Commentary

Forsythe: 36

In 11 games, Jeff Decker has 9 strikeouts (not good). He also has 9 hits and 14 walks for a .511 on-base percentage. Oh yeah, of those 9 hits, 5 are XBH (4 2B & 1 HR).

Zawadzki: 7 XBH and all 7 are HR

This is a good day. Cedric Hunter has been struggling. It’s nice to see him break out in a big way. I had a feeling that he might be back Sunday when he went 1-3 with a double… But this was nice. Welcome back to the list Cedric.

Mikey’s famous!

Blanks: .318/.423/.568 – No… He’s not a top prospect. What were you thinking getting excited about a Padres prospect?
