Cron being Cron

hes had 2 big hits all season

grand slam @ nym 

pitch hit homer

other than that...nada

It's not easy playing once a week or less. Platooning Cron doesn't work. Same for Valbuena who had two HR in a game that was a blow out and didn't make a dent. Valbuena got the majority of ABs and is hitting .183.

If CJ Cron spends any more time on the bench in favor of Valbuena, Scioscia needs to have his head examined.

461 feet.

So.. does Sven wait till tomorrow to give Cron the obligatory day off or pinch hit later in the game?

CRON DOES SOME MEANINGFUL DAMAGE!! 4-0 Angels.

I can guarantee you that Cron will get tomorrow off. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Cron second HR in 3 games. He is 3-4 with a walk since All Star break.

[eligrba4ever]

Cron's last three hits and last two (of 4 for the season) homers are against lefties. That spells platoon.

Cron should probably play more. 

A lot more, until somebody much better than Valbuena is found. If you want to have a platoon, don't do it with an automatic out.

[Troll Daddy]

I like platoons

But the other guy can't hit at all. Cron by far is the lesser of the two evils. He also needs the at-bats.

Trout gets a day off tomorrow as well.

You can do better than that. 

I'll give it a 2 on the troll scale of 1-10.

[floplag]

Can someone explain to me why they are giving the Nats so much leeway on the review clock?  WTF?

[CaliAngel]

Of course I talk shit on Cron then he jacks one.

This team.

Psst, tomorrow's an off day.  

[CaliAngel]

Don't matter. He'd sit him anyway.

Don't want a hot streak player to keep it up, that's no fun.

Has he faced anyone who isn't left handed?

His career wRC+ is 20 points higher against righties than lefties.

[eligrba4ever]

Joe Blanton. LOL. Blast from the past.
