LaRue will GIDP, this guy sucks. Whatever he had a couple years ago is gone.

 

he had a .800 OPS last season

[sweetpeteman]

Maybe our offense will realize that they are facing ERIC MILTON.

[Mizzou]

A ground out to the pitcher that scored a run? Huh?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno flied out to right field

[E.J.]

Z is pissed about being taken out after that inning.

[sweetpeteman]

I should have said the last couple of years, I knew he did pretty good last year.

[soccer10k]

Z is pissed about being taken out after that inning.

 

Like Len said, it could be the runs also.

[E.J.]

A ground out to the pitcher that scored a run? Huh?

 

Ball was hit weakly between the pitcher's mound and 1st base. Z would have had to turn and fire to get the out at home, but he missed the ball when he grabbed for it.

[mul21]

Is it wrong for me to be praying for a double switch right now? Please leave Womack in and take out the Fury.

[Flames24Rulz]

Z is pissed about being taken out after that inning.

 

Like Len said, it could be the runs also.

 

Or like Len should have said, it could be the lack of run support that was given to him.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Womack, pinch hittig for Zambrano, struck out (called)
