7/3 Astros (Cy Clemens) vs. Marmol (and crap) 7:05 CSN

Ronny really scuffling

 

 

Would it be worth sending him back down to Triple A to regain his confidence?

 

Or see if he can fight through it?

[Blueheart05]

My God, I'm tired of Murton beating the ball into the ground.

[JC]

Murton is taking his eye off the ball right before his swing. I've emphasised it before, sometimes it is as simple as watching the bat make contact with the ball.

[Schwarber Fan]

OT: Our BP sucks

 

You're nuts. Hendry has tweaked it three years in a row. That much tweaking can only result in awesome execution, or a rash.

 

Our bullpen isn't as bad as it's been in recent years, but when it's over used and mis-used I don't see how stuff like this isn't expected. Some guys pitch several games in a row, and others will sit for days and even weeks. Baker's game management as a whole sucks.

 

NSBB's motto!

Is it worth seeing Neifi start?

Lets ask Corey Patterson.

[texascub]

Pierre just needs a HR for the cycle...and he won't hit one for the rest of the year.

[Schwarber Fan]

speaking of the Crawford boxes, Pierre now a HR away from the cycle.

His defense has improved quite a bit though and it's the best on the team. I say let him stay up and work through it; there's no way to learn how to hit ML pitching except for staying in the majors. He's proved he can hit AAA pitching so there isn't much for him to prove there.

I'm not so sure. I think DLee's is the best.

He's the best MIF though and he's probably got the most range of anybody on the team as well.

I need some entertainment. Bring on fatty.

Nope, only if Wandy Rodriguez is in.
