    Sure... However this start occured on the third game of the season, following a one game in three days schedule that only happens once a year. People here are upset because a start today, combined with all the Team Savior verbiage last year, suggests a platoon. Well, let's worry about it when it becomes a problem. At this point in the season there is no reason to not give a guy props for 3 hits.

    Rather than looking at the results one game, let's examine the total body of evidence, please. Neifi is not a good offensive player. End of story. As a properly used bench player, he can be an asset. He should not be a platoon partner or a starter. I agree. But today was just one start. Walker started the other two. I don't have any problem with things so far as long as Neifi is hitting in his occasional start.

    I'm a Walker fan all the way, but as long as the guy playing 2B gets 3 hits, I can't say anything bad about it.

    Looking at it on its own, great move by Dusty,

    If what you say is true, then Baylor was nothing like Weaver. Like him with the home runs, not like him with the sacs.
  6. srbin84
    Possibly so. However, neither Baylor or Baker used Bellhorn properly. He excelled as a top of the order hitter under Kimm, and then he excelled as a top of the order hitter under Little at Boston. Baker attempted to turn a .375 OBP guy (mostly from drawing walks) into a bottom of the order RBI guy. But, to make up for it, he's doing the best he can to convert Neifi into a top of the order hitter. :cheers: Weaver's line up featured bashers, but always seemed to have a good lead off guy (Paul Blair, Ken Singleton) to start things off. Well, if anything has been concluded, it's been that Baylor had no idea what he was trying to do. I agree that Bellhorn is a good No. 2 hitter though.

    Because it tells us that Dusty has at least some brain activity. the squeeze is little more than a show off move for the manager. it's unnecessarily risky. Not with a great bunter like Pierre hitting. It's not very risky at all. . you do realize that he ended up getting a hit, right? wouldn't you take that over a run scoring sac bunt or a rally killing caught stealing? Did I say I wanted him to do a squeeze? I just argued against you, that it's not much of a risk when you have one of the best bunters at the plate. There were about 30% odds of Pierre getting a hit.

    Does anyone else think it would have been smarter to put Marshall against Carpenter and Z against Ponson to insure we get at least one win in those two games?

    Because it tells us that Dusty has at least some brain activity. LOL.

    About freaking time Baker tried one!!!!!!!!!!

    I saw the Hrabosky call of that mothers day game a couple years ago where marrero got hurt in the OF and he said that Chip Caray was holding up a sign he made that said "This is payback for Mueller!"
  13. srbin84
    Yeah, he has said many times he doesn't really care about the baserunners and he throws really slow.
  14. srbin84
    I expected better from Cedeno. Hopefully it's just nerves.
  15. srbin84
    And thanks Dusty for having the foresight to play Neifi. Walker probably would've just clogged the bases. Just say no to base clogging Has a HR ever been overturned because there were guys clogging the bases? Well, if a base runner falls behind the guy who hit it, I believe it is an out. It had to have happened at some point in over 100 years of ball.

    D-LEE!!!
  17. srbin84
    Well, if we could get a younger star for Prior, I would prefer that. I don't know if that is possible though. And I doubt Lee would sign a two or even three year extension.
  18. srbin84
    Bellhorn became a Baylor guy. He just didnt start from opening day because he had like 320 MLB ABs and very, very bad numbers.
  19. srbin84
    Well, it was combination of things then because the Cubs still led the league in homers.
  20. srbin84
    Tejada is 29 and Abreu is 32. You expect them to delcline majorly this or next year? I guess you are not a fan of resigning Lee because he will have the same contracts or worse as he ages.
  21. srbin84
    Is future 1st ballot Hall of Famer Neifi Perez gonna be there too? What in the world did my post have to do with Neifi Perez? I also thought that "Major League Star" was a bit of an exaggeration of Cedeno's career thus far.

    Yeah, there were a lot of high end players in the 99 draft.

    For those who defend Prior, what is the defense and reason for optimism with a Pitcher coming off two years of 21 GS 4.02 ERA and 27 GS 3.67 ERA, who is currently on the DL? I'd just like to know why you guys think he is going to come back, pitch the rest of the season and pitch a lot better.

    You can see the about 3 or 4 seasons each where they missed double digit starts. Stone's career ended at an early age after a huge innings season. None had the longevity of a Jenkins or Gibson. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
