Murton walked

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones blooped a single to center field, Murton to third

[sunnydoo]

The Juan-O-Meter is up to .262.

 

Meanwhile on another planet, Captain Mendoza brings his up to .207- that is startling. Will our brave hero venture toward .225? Only time will tell.

[cheapseats]

Jones just gave Murton the "I'm going to stray off first base and get picked off" sign.

Seriously.

 

It's that weird bright red bat.

Thanks!!

[sunnydoo]

Things are looking up...with that K, Ohman's ERA dips below 10.

That's the sum of the individual players' totals. In other words, if Pierre gets on and is stranded, then Cedeno, Walker & Ramirez each left a man on base, or 3 in total.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jackson doubled to left field

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's the first hit given up since Hill was in the game.

[cheapseats]

Murton does his best Dubois imitation in left, Jackson into second safely.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jackson took third base on a wild pitch

[cjbucks]

That's the first hit given up since Hill was in the game.

 

Unfortunately the horse is already out of the barn.

[neely crenshaw]

does it bother anyone that we are so poor we are getting dominated by a team that has juan cruz, shawn estes and miguel batista in their rotation?

we can't even score on them! hell they all played for us and other than cruz i really wouldn't want them back...

[neely crenshaw]

That's the first hit given up since Hill was in the game.

i'm sure their hitters are exhausted by now...lol

[Fred Hornkohl]

S Green walked

[cheapseats]

Thom B says no one expected the Reds to be first or the Dbacks to be first at the beginning of May.

 

You know, Thom, people usually don't care about who's in first at the beginning of May. October, of course, is a different story.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Easley flied out to center field, Jackson scored
