Is Mather at 3B and Baker in RF actually a better defensive alignment?

Do you mean Baker at 3rd and Mather in right? I'm surprised it isn't that way. I thought Baker was the better/more experienced guy in the infield.

[Yeti]

i dont get it

 

We're not interested in your sex life. Please keep it to yourself. Thanx

quit mocking me!!!

A chance to get out of the cellar with a win tonight. I'm assuming Sveum has a bunch of shifts planned for the team he formerly coached.

[InconspicuousZ28]

This is a pretty awesome start.

[Guest]

Garza's control is as bad as it can be. He's missing most spots by feet.

[Guest]

At least the Brewers only got one. Hopefully Garza can get his control issues figured out and settle in.

[El Duderino]

man, that was agonizing

[haubrich91]

Gotta be happy with the outcome considering they had the bases loaded and no outs. Let's hit.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Defensive positioning really paid off there. Two very hard hit balls right at guys.

 

Seems like he started to get it together toward the end of the Ramirez at-bat, though.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Wolf is leaving balls up. I want 2 or 3 HRs tonight.

[Guest]

Yes, keep swinging at balls, Darwin. We don't want to turn the lineup over or anything.

[Careless]

How many straight balls did Wolf just throw to Barney?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is a great example of a long at-bat that isn't really all that great. He's fouling off bad pitches and good pitches.

 

He ended up hitting the ball hard though, so I guess that shuts me up.

[Careless]

Wow, that looked uncatchable off the bat

And he increased the PC of an old guy who had already faced 7 batters by more than a third.

Man I hope LaHair stays on fire and they don't try to buzz him inside

[haubrich91]

Another taxing inning, but 1-2-3.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I want Reed Johnson off this roster so, so badly.

[El Duderino]

I want Reed Johnson off this roster so, so badly.

 

and replaced by who?

Someone useful.

 

My first choice would be Dave Sappelt. But I really don't care.

[haubrich91]

LaHomerun?

[Careless]

If Castro is hitting you in the face, how are you not getting your skull caved in by first basemen?

[gocubs2118]

How much longer do we have to watch Soriano attempt to hit?
