Yellow Jacket.

[abuck1220]

what do you know....guys under 33 can hit.

 

should get the start once more this weekend against olsen.

[abuck1220]

and for those of you who couldn't watch the game...his sac fly was pretty deep. probably would have been out in a different park.

 

and though cedeno didn't have much of a night hitting-wise, he put together a pretty solid ab when he drew the walk. was down in the count, but fought off a bunch of tough pitches before taking ball four. of course if he wouldn't have gidp'ed in the 9th, murton would have gotten another ab. or dusty could have batted murton and cedeno ahead of crappy ass, cheating, sausage legged neifi perez...

I may be glad I picked up Murton for my team a few weeks ago when nobody had him on their roster. Who else can claim they have a player with a career major league batting average of 1.000? :D

[abuck1220]

man, dusty couldn't resist taking murton out last night against the righty. i heard murton has never faced a righty in his minor league career. and then, of course, he lets the pitcher bat. hairston and walker bailed baker out of that mismanaging debacle.

 

and a great first ab for holla against leiter today. i have a feeling the dusty baker excuse-o-rama is about to shift from perez to hollandsworth.

Do you get the feeling Dusty just can't wait to get Murton out? Incredible. holly starts today.

What else did anyone expect ? Baker clearly thinks Murton is an experiment:

 

“It’s early,” Baker said of Murton. “For the everybody-wants-to-win-now, do you continue to experiment or do you go with a known entity, too? That’s what the question is, and what do you have to give up for the entity?”

 

I'd send Murton back to West Tenn. It's more frustrating to have him with the Cubs if Baker is the manager. I say this because the old flame is back for Bake when it comes to Hollandsworth:

 

“You can’t just shelve Holly,” Baker said. “Holly’s doing an outstanding job for us. He’s finally got his act together. I don’t want Holly off too many days. I’m going to play Holly tomorrow because if not, Holly would be off almost a week. That’s a long time.”

 

You got him 2 ab's on Saturday Night and he did nothing. You got him 5 ab's today and he left 8 men on base.

 

Maybe Hendry comes to his senses (what little he has) while pondering the club the next 3 days.
