  1. COME ON offense!!! Don't waste this great bullpen performance...
  2. LOL!! This time, it looked like Angel didn't realize he caught the 3rd out..
  3. good news...murton in right... now...bring up pie and platoon jones and murton floyd can just smile on the bench Except it would likely mean Pagan in CF and Jones in RF or one of Jones/Pagan in CF and DeRosa in RF. no, because pie would be brought up...which would mean start pie for the most part and use pagan for rest days and defensive subage Who gets sent down? ETA: NMV...you're scenario assumes Cliff is on the DL
  4. ARam double...man, that double play really hurts now..
  5. Great job by Eyre (did I just type that?!?!?)... It would do wonders for the 'pen if he can keep this up..
  6. Took a line shot from JJ off his right forearm
  7. Haha, awesome. Marquis does kinda suck. I'm not the biggest fan of Marquis but he has a 106 ERA+ and a sub 4.25 ERA. Not too shabby for the fifth best starter in the rotation. And who was on the trade market to acquire? Don't you know that who was available is irrelevant? Making blanket complaints donm't require stating fixes to the perceived problem..
  8. Man, they are pounding the ball..even on the outs..
  9. Nope it can't. That might've been the hardest he's hit the ball since his 2 double day @ Wash.
  10. Congrats man....you have a woman who clearly understands your hierarchy of "what is vitally important." :D
  11. Ehh, I dunno... I liken it to riding a moped: it can be fun, until your friends see you doing it...
  12. I think it says guys don't like playing behind Rich. He is slow, throws lots of pitches and really doesn't get the defense involved (Lots of K's and flyballs). Whoa whoa whoa I'm not saying anything like that, I'm just saying it might affect Rich a little pyschologically. He plays his heart out and the bats never seem to pay him any favors. I know what you're saying. And I'm saying that maybe if he pitched a little faster (lower pitch counts, quicker innings) that the bats might pick him up more often. I'm saying that's crazy talk. Oh really? Have you eve played baseball before? Go ask a fielder how much they hate playing behind a Steve Trachsel type, then get back to me. I totally get (& buy into) what you're saying on the defensive side, but I guess I just can't see how it would necessarily carry-over to the offensive side. Admittedly, I only played baseball up through high school... If a player is carrying his angst over a slow pitcher w/ him up to the plate, dude needs to simply sack-up & get over it, IMO.
  13. Yay, he gives up :!: FWIW, I'd give up too in the face of unrelenting dense "logic."
  14. Come'on Soul. You know that cap on your emotions is gonna get blown off come Thursday or Friday. :P I'm struggling mightily against the temptation 8-) Resistance is futile!! KW on the hill would be an awesome sight to see....even if only for a short time.
  15. "surely"? How is that so sure?
  16. Yeah, just as well give Cruz a shot.. It's pretty clear that Murton isn't going to get more than sporadic playing time, and he hasn't shown the ability to produce under those circumstances, so he might as well get sent back down.
  17. I think it says guys don't like playing behind Rich. He is slow, throws lots of pitches and really doesn't get the defense involved (Lots of K's and flyballs). What's that got to do w/ swinging the bats?
  18. Eeeek...soft tossing lefty... I fear for Rich's mental health against the Phils also... I just hope our offense starts the game w/ extreme prejudice!!
  19. In all honesty, I think my eyes would well-up if he steps on the bump in Wrigley...
  20. Well, assuming there is some causation, you'd better learn how to #2 on demand!!!
