While hitting superstar Travis boasts his .111 average, he's again proving he is a defensive liability -- unable to make a throw to home within six feet of the plate, and under eight feet high, all executed with the infield drawn in. A great lead-off hitter to be sure.

Bautista is dancing with .100 again, and has struck out 10 times in 25 ABs, with three paltry hits and a single RBI.

Russ Martin is still oh-for-the-season, now 0 for 18.

What's with this Pearce guy, supposedly rated to play every day while Smoak and Carrera platoon as part-timers. Since he's only once played 100 games once since arriving in 2007, he was hailed as an off-season versatile guy, yet has posted a .158 average, while the other two guys are both a hundred points or more higher. Ben Zobrist he is not.

Thank god Morales appears as advertised, to help sub for EE's departure.

Dan Shulman's presence eased the Mickey & Goofy show into the background, at least.
