Regarding the table setters displaying the ability to satisfy the appetites of the big bats, The Nootz, as is seemingly always, is flashing a nice OBP of .390 and Eddie now up to .337 and has now crossed HP 27 times with the vast majority of those runs scored while being placed down at the bottom of the order. Donovan has quietly climbed his way to an OBP of .333 and his glove’s been outstanding at any outpost in which he’s been ordered to report. Back to The Nootz…After scuffling for a few games, both of his base hits last night were of the clutch RBI variety. The first coming with 2 outs in the 4th to push Edman across from 3B and pick up Burleson who failed to get the RBI with a runner at 3B and 1 out. Nootz’ second RBI base hit again pushed Edman across, this time from 2B with 1 out in the 9th to stretch the lead to 3, which loomed more than large as witnessed by the drama we saw in the home half of the 9th. At any rate, the table setters are now affording the Redbird manager with numerous options at the top of the order, so possibly after witnessing Goldy’s 2 solo taters (8 of his 9 HR’s have come with the bases empty) he’ll at last understand that it’s past high time to place him in the 3 slot where he obviously belongs.
