  1. Cedeno definitely could have looked him back a bit longer, but why was Barrett not in position to block the plate? Especially after making a bad throw to allow the runner to advance to 3b in the first place.
  2. Very good ones I might add. cheerleaders or fans? Uh, cheerleaders!
  3. Hey, Murton will bat in the top of the 9th if you want comfort. He's totally due.
  4. Coffey just set a record from the Reds bullpen to the mound.
  5. Fake throw to 2nd by Williamson. While Dunn was casually returning to the bag, he tripped over 2nd base and basically stumbled about 10 feet towards RF. Williamson then decided to throw to Walker, but the throw was in the dirt and nearly skipped into CF. A good throw might have nailed Dunn returning from his blunder. It was quite comical.
  6. I wouldn't call it a great choice, though it did have a great outcome. Knowing that Arroyo could get pulled based on his pitch count, a switch hitting PH might have been in order with guys in the bullpen from both sides, but I'm not going to complain. Give the guy some credit, the move worked. I'm sure he was hoping for a homer in that situation... It worked and I said I wouldn't complain, but when they announced Mabry you knew that he would be facing a lefty reliever. Playing the percentages, this would be a poor choice. But, I'm not complaining because it did work out.
  7. We'll take it -- can we send you some Cub futility in return? :D =D>

  9. Dusty getting no extension at all is how I would like to interpret it, but it's only wishful thinking.

    Bonds

    When I saw Barry Bonds cry, I took back all the evil thoughts I've had about him. I hope he breaks the HR record and fans everywhere rejoice and share in his accomplishments. Ah, just kidding. When Bonds started sobbing, I changed the channel.
  11. Can you blame them? Look how Willis turned out for them.
  12. I don't think he'd typically start over the guys mentioned, but he makes for a decent option when playing in such a hitter's park with known bad pitching (GAP) or on an off day for some of the other outfielders (if you can make daily line up changes.
  13. It's probably Dmitri Young, since Delmon is still in the minors.
  14. It might be a bit premature, but it's looking like the Padres might have a very, very, very rare rain out. It's raining pretty good at my place right now.
  15. The site is kinda quiet today. Give it a little time, someone should be able to help you out.
  16. I like Mitre. I hope he does well all year.
  17. Pitching around Bonds is one thing, but walking Rollins on purpose is not cool. I too, tip my cap to LaRussa.
  18. Nah, he just dropped that ball because he didn't get his contract.
  19. I'm perfectly fine with creating a consistency of calling an obvious error an error. On a related topic, Dunn didn't get charged for an error when he fell down in LF, did he? Isn't the rule for outfielders that they don't get charged if they never touch the ball?
  20. I could see it being a judgment call in some instances, and this would be one of them. Aramis picked up the grounder at the same time he stepped on 3rd, he then stuck the ball right in Derrek's stomach with a perfect throw. Derrek had a momentary lapse of concentration. If it looks like an error and it quacks like an error..........
