BS of the Day: 6-12-13
Alright, let's find some sunshine through all the ****, eh? Your Bright Spots for today:
Fairly decent day for the trade bait on the major league club:
Nate Schierholtz was 1-3, with a home run that briefly gave the Cubs the lead.
James Russell, after giving up a leadoff double in the eighth, got through Choo, Votto, Phillips, and Bruce without giving up a hit (though Phillips...
Phillies Are Not Worthy Of Blame On Nate Schierholtz Decision
I can list many reasons that I am upset with Phillies management in this putrid, lifeless, uninspiring 2013 season. But one thing I do not fault the Phillies for is their decision to non-tender outfielder Nate Schierholtz after the 2012 season. In today's Philadelphia Daily News, Phillies beat writer Ryan...
Nate Schierholtz, Platoon Specialist
At some point during today’s Cubs victory, Roobs was wondering how Nate Schierholtz did in San Francisco as a Giant because he was having a pretty good season so far. Enter Wendy Thurm, who is a really smart lady and is a good follow on the Twitterz. Nate was really just a part-time player on the Giants as well, but he was a solid contributor and as such he was awarded a World...

Phillies Player Review: Nate Schierholtz
Nate Schierholtz was the one player the Phillies got in return for Hunter Pence who was not only big league-ready, but had already accrued a fair amount of major league service time. A kind of enigma in San Francisco, Schierholtz came to Philly with the promise of consistent playing time and an opportunity to prove himself to his new manager as an everyday player. It was a new start...
Nate Schierholtz's parting thoughts on Bruce Bochy
Nate Schierholtz had already voiced that he wasn't happy with the way that the Giants had treated him earlier this season and now that he is in Philadelphia he has a few more thoughts to share on his time with the Giants.
He said this to Matt Gelb of the The Philadelphia Inquirer:
"I just felt like I had a short leash. It was series by series, if I didn’t...
SF Giants Rumors: Schierholtz Days Could Be Numbered
Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle says outfielder Nate Schierholtz is ready to move on if another team wants to give him a larger role. Schierholtz doesn’t get very much playing time these days for the San Francisco Giants.
“There’s no place I’d rather play than here, says Schierholtz. “It’s where I grew up. It’s home to me. I love the fans. I love the...
2011 Season in Review: Nate Schierholtz
One of the only bright spots of this year’s offense was Nate Schierholtz, who had somewhat of a breakout. It wasn’t a spectacular season, but he managed to post a pretty respectable .278/.326/.430 before his season was cut short due to injuries. Around late June, Schierholtz altered his batting stance, and shortly thereafter, he got red-hot: from June 25 to July 10, he hit .421...
