Not a fan of Nady, but nice job there

 

Why aren't you a fan of Nady?

Why is Colvin taking this at bat

 

Colvin was already in the game. He's not pinch hitting here

 

I know, but he should have been pinch hit for

 

With who?

God, Koyie is brutal. Where's Henry Blanco when you need him?

Hopefully Gorzo will only have to miss a start or two. He's been great so far this year.

 

I still don't get this team though. We take, arguably, our second best starting pitching product and put him in the AAA bullpen....then bring up Stevens over him when Caridad goes down, and then signs Bob effing Howry for god knows what reason. So now if Gorzo is missing a start, who takes his spot? Thankfully, we have an offday on Monday, so we can skip his spot until May 29th, but still. Wouldn't it have been nice to have Jackson ready in case something like this happens, just so we don't have to rush Cashner or bring up someone else who would probably suck?

 

Then there's always Z, who's "transition" to a long relief role apparently means 1 and 2 out outings. Which just makes it harder for him to get transitioned back into being a starter.

 

I don't really know why I'm complaining at this point....should be used to it....

Nady

 

But Nady was clearly going to hit in the pitchers spot. I guess the one risk is that Colvin hits into a DP, but either Colvin or Fukudome (in the pitcher's spot) was going to have to face the lefty.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Rollins lined out to second base

[NotSoSober]

Not a fan of Nady, but nice job there

 

Why aren't you a fan of Nady?

I'm fickle, and the fact he can't field his position pisses me off. Don't put him in RF if he can only lob the ball back to Lee or Theriot

[JonJayCutler]

Throw strikes!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ibanez walked

[Keener98]

You hit the RH guy with 1 out and dont take a chance that Nady never see's the plate vs Romero. Romero has destroyed left handed hitters in his career, no reason to let the left handed guy bat before your best RH bat off the bench with the bases loaded of a 1 run game.

[BCVM22]

Throw striiiiiiikes

[JonJayCutler]

Never easy.

[Keener98]

Come on Marmol for Christs sake!

That's with whom !!

[BCVM22]

whyyyy

[Fred Hornkohl]

Ruiz hit by pitch , Ibanez to second

[NotSoSober]

It's the bad Marmol. He'll K the next 2 though

[soapy]

Oh, good. This should be fun.
