??? If he's running hard, he could have been awarded home. ground rule double, he can only advance 2 bases no its the umps discretion and you think these umps would award Z home? its still the umps discretion. you were acting like its not even an option

nice play by Aram. He does that barehanded pickup and throw as good as anybody

Thats giving the umps credit that they would have gotten that right too though

Joe West is a jackass, Soriano got screwed

Dunn pops it and its 2-0 heading to the 2nd

Z walks Hatteberg. come on Z throw strikes, damn I get tired of saying this every start with him

Murt will probably start tomorrow according to Len, Ill believe it when I see it.

sac fly DeRo 2-0 now

ARAM RBI double!!

Man, he is just floating breaking balls up there

Id rather Z dominated today, not so much interested in what he does tonight :D

I have no problem with Lou playing the hot hand in Theriot. My problem is Fontenot and his sub .600 OPS since the break. Hes cooled off, and now its time to try and find the new "hot hand" for the week.

He can only play 3rd I think so no, absolutely none.

In all fairness, hes had more than 1 AB in all but 2 games in the last 10. Ronny has 6 ab's since being called up. He's been up for 10 games already? Wow, the season flies. No Cedeno has been up since the 24.

Like him saying Kendall and Hill were going to alternate starts? Or how Cedeno and Theriot were going to split time at SS? Lou says alot of stuff, and then does the exact opposite. And so what? He's got the hammer, and he's going to use it. I don't recall him saying Cedeno and Theriot were going to split time. He did say Theriot would need days off. Things change as time goes on, and any manager reserves the right to change his mind. Lou doesn't give one dam* what anybody thinks (including us) as long as the team is winning. I kind of like it. I remember reading Lou saying that him and Theriot would split time, but I dont remember where. And Im happy Lou doesnt give a damn what anybody thinks, but if he thinks Murton or Cedeno will continue their hot hitting getting 1 AB a game, hes wrong. The way Floyd has been hitting, there really is no reason for Murt to not get a shot in RF. Instead hes been relegated to the bench once again. Same goes for Cedeno, we have a starting 2nd baseman who has a sub .600 OPS, but Cedeno cant get a shot? I agree with you completely on the Murton front but not so much on Ronny. I think most here would agree that we are best off with Theriot at SS, DeRosa at 2nd and a Murton/Floyd platoon in the OF with Cedeno getting the occasional start in the INF. I have no problem with Derosa, but Fontenot has completely cooled off since the break, and even before the break he was struggling. Cedeno was tearing up AAA and then comes up and sits. So now when/if he does get his shot and he struggles it really shouldnt be a surprise. I just hope they give him more than 2 or 3 games when/if he does get a chance.

Same can be asked for Cedeno No it can't. Where is he gonna play? 2nd over DeRosa/Fontenot? SS over Theriot? 3rd over Rammy :lol: The guys in front of him right now are hot. Theriot's getting on base at a ridiculous pace lately. Murton on the other hand should get some playing time here although in Murton's AB last night, he looked pretty damn bad. Fontenot has been terrible for about a month now, so he should be behind Cedeno for the time being. There's no reason to call Cedeno up and let him ride on the bench. He hasn't shown the power or patience to be a bench option at the major league level. He's not a gifted base runner (though he has good speed), and he isn't exceptional defensively. The only reason you call him up is to see if he actually learned anything when he went back to the minors. Using him sporadically off the bench tells you nothing about any progress he made. and let's stop basing anything on one at-bat, please. saying he looked terrible in his one AB last night after he was yanked from the starting lineup 15 minutes before game time is meaningless and contributes nothing to the conversation. Ding ding ding, Fontenot is the one who is putting up a sub .600 OPS since the All Star Break.

Those numbers arent Derosas

See the post above this post, and tell me you consider that hot

Who on earth do you want benched for Cedeno? .225 .319 .544 OPS those are the numbers since the All Star Break of one of our starting middle infielders.

Same can be asked for Cedeno

Who on earth do you want benched for Cedeno? Why even have him here?
