Seriously, a really crappy hitter was moved to the 8 spot. Big freaking deal. It's the same 8 guys you'd expect to be in there and nobody is batting is some crazy spot in the order that makes no sense.
If you are going to market a star driven entertainment, the stars must prevail. Wouldn't the fact that they are more talented than the rest of the league allow them to prevail without the benefit of biased officiating? A lot of the time, but not all.
I watched part of game 2 on Fox Sports Tennessee. Not sure why ESPN doesn't list that. http://espn.go.com/nhl/schedule According to ESPN the next san jose/colorado game is only airing on altitude in Denver. But according to their website, that game is on comcast sports net california.
are they not airing this game in Nashville? ESPN lists home, away and national TV options. A lot of them don't have a home and/or away, but they do have national. This game, and the next, is only being shown on csnc according to ESPN.
I doubt it, the media loves it some crappy white guy who hustes. Not as much as they like a good story and something they can latch onto when questioning the manager/GM.
It probably has less to do with it being against left handed pitching, and more about the fact that Theriot has sucked so far this season against everybody.
Not me. I'm only freaking out due to his reasoning for dropping him. Well, this is Lou's reasoning for everything he does. And Theriot shouldn't be at the top of the lineup regardless. That being said, it makes very little difference. It's probably going to last a game or two at the most.
wait are you saying that it's bad for a guy's arm to warm him up but then not pitch him in a ballgame. No, it's that warming a guy up is almost the same as using him, so if he's warm, just use him and don't waste another guy.
Plus the dumb play by Feliz that led to at least Theriot scoring, and quite likely the full 3-run homer that Lee had (assuming Theriot is out and Fukudome still flies out). Pretty sure Bob and all color guys says something similar after a game is only talking about their team. No, you're wrong, they talk about the play of both teams all the time. Either way it was an inacccurate statement.
I dont think so, not too mad about it. I mean thats less the number of pitches he throw on an off day for a workout. So pretty much this game was like a side session. Would've been worse if he labored and threw 30 pitches Closers throw side sessions? Side sessions are for starters who sit for 4 days, not for guys who have to be ready to pitch every day.

If this was game 3 against against MIL I could understand, kind of. But this is the first game of this series, and you are giving Houston a free opportunity to see Marmol in a meaningless situation, when you might need him in a real situation the next 2 days.
