Longoria Loves Game 162's

Decided to check out his career stats after his big performance to end the season last year and his 2 HR's tonight:

7 for 13 (.538 Batting Average)
5 Home Runs

Just hit a 3rd tonight. Now 8/14 with 6 HRs in 162's

He's a big game performer (even if this isn't a big game for Tampa tonight). Hopefully he can stay healthy for a few years and fully live up to his promise.

Just imagine if TB had his bat in the lineup for most of the Season!

He did get a shot in the 8th...

That's awesome. Dan Johnson is terrible unless:

1. The game is on the line;
2. The season is on the line; or
3. It's the last game of the regular season...

in which case he becomes Ted Williams.

I wonder if the all or nothing mentality works for Longoria. He may hold back some knowing he hasn't been healthy when he has tons of games left.
