Villanueva - remember Hector? He was the BOMB!
-
why are we bunting to get to DeRosa (or more importantly) Blanco?
-
Exactly. Make him our 4th OF. Floyd is the dead weight in the OF!
-
and the wind rushing past our collective ears?
-
hey, that was a pretty decent throw from Jaque ah, bloody hell.... never mind, irrelevent.

How well do you think you'd pitch if you were sent down to AAA after pitching lights out in the Majors? Had to be a pretty big letdown for him. At least his FB is faster than 87 mph. He can't be any worse than Miller and should be better.

new sig time

Double crap. Eyre
-
crap. who's coming in for Wuertz(Pie)?
-
Dude, please. Dusty's use of Neifi and Macias alone refute this argument.

Let's go Matty! D'oh

Let's go Matty!

That was a terrible call. Lou should go off.
-
JUST a bit outside

my god, even the idiot brewer announcers knew that sori bunting is dumb
-
WTF?

That bad eh? Ew. my first thought was that someone was going to sing Soprano for a bit, but it looks like his knee buckled. Ouch.

Izturis is above-average defensively.... Theriot would be merely adequate. Adequate Defense + Above Average Off > Above Average Def + Below Average Off feel free to use this against me when it comes to Pie I use that same equation in the Jones versus Pie debate I think we know what we're (not) going to get with Izturis. And, like Murton, we have potential for more from Pie.

he's doing really well at his current role... if it ain't broke, don't fix it That, and the theory that you put your best reliever in earlier to shut down the oppositions seems to be the theory that Lou has been using when it comes to Wuertz.

Funny how being a lousy hitter in the 8-spot is not a problem for Pie, but with Izturis it's the end of the world. Izzy v. Theriot is an upgrade without a drop in defense. wrong We may to agree to disagree. My point is more that the upgrade in offense is more than offset by any loss of defense (which I would argue is minimal).

I'd keep Jones and dump Floyd if it were possible, and make him the 4th OF. But that's probably not possible given their contracts. And Pie is a much better hitter than Izturis anyway. And yes I have nothing to back that up. Pie's a better base runner. But for me, his impact on the OF defense is more important than any perceived upgrade from Izzy to Theriot. His range and arm are both impressive and that will help a lot. Especially with notorious fly-ballers like Lilly on the mound.

Honestly how many teams have really strong 7 and 8 hitters other than the Yankees? Look at my above lineup. When Pie develops, we do. I agree (see me above too). I think we can wait out Pie's bat if we start Theriot and Murton
