Who is Schlitter ?

We will always be able to thank Sveum for Bosio at least.

I think a fair timetable for Castro to turn things around would be around the time Javier Baez is expected to make the jump to the majors. If Castro hasn't shown signs of improvement by that time (June 9-ish?), there's no reason to let him block Baez at short.

 

That's pretty much exactly what my response was during our conversation this morning.

Did we have a conversation this morning that I have blacked out from memory?

[Castros trade value]

phew

[UMFan83]

Who is closing today? Didn't Ricky say that Verey is not available?

 

Edit: Whoops, forgot Stropy is closing

Insurance run, please, Rizzo

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

If Strop has an easy 9th I hope they just let him keep closing.

[weis21]

Is Strop warming?

[Jake]

Pedro unable to pull the game out of the Schlitter.

 

Sorry. Couldn't resist. :roll:

Can we all agree right now that if Schlitter becomes a long-term bullpen piece we're not going to post a bunch of [expletive] puns in the game threads?

Only if the others agree not to refer to him as Schlitty.

[Guest]

of course

[mul21]

Between the cell phone that was going off constantly in the early innings and the Ric Flair impersonators, this is the most annoying crowd ever.

Lake is very dumb

[sweetpeteman]

Stupid...

[Guest]

i wonder if lake's batted ball distance numbers were deflated by so many freaking bunt for hit attempts

Ha, that came out wrong. Was referring to my previous post about a conversation with a co-worker about Castro.

[MWV]

Jesus Christ, Lake. I wan't to like you, man...

[mul21]

Lake is very dumb

 

That seems to be a theme with our OF the last couple years.

[Guest]

Lake's going to have a .400 BABIP and still not be a valuable player.
