Game #163 Overflow: Herges vs Thatcher at last look

Li_l_rox_girl_tiny by Rox Girl on in Rockpile Comment 130 comments

Just so you don't have to keep hitting "end" all the time. I think it's crimping the team.

Okay guys.
come on, be patient, get some runs. Two, three, four swings can end this just as much as one.
Yes, those guys.

But after missing class twice last week due to "real sick," I can't risk it.

And the meltdown begins
I have zero confidence now.

Jogre Julio is not a major league quality pitcher. And personally, Triple A could prolly destroy him.

Why get this guy to begin with? You coulda traded a crappy pitcher to the Mariners for George Sherrill or JJ Putz.

Thats what Atlanta did for Soriano.

The only possible thing I can make out of this...
Given the way things have gone, wouldn't it be fitting to score three off Hoffman to extend the season. Otherwise, I've just about had it. Innings 1-7 were brilliant. 8-13 have been an inexperienced team showing their age and swinging for the fences.
Yes, those guys.

disgusting.
I think that describes it. The first seven were great. The last five innings have been disgusting offensively, defensively, and nailbiting for the bullpen.
Yes, those guys.

I think Hurdle must be sending a message to Dan O'Dowd what he really wants him to start working on when the offseason begins tomorrow.

Hurdle is an $#Q4 idiot
His inept use of the bench and the bullpen...really shows up in close games.  And we only have to have him as a manager for 2 more years at least!

by Redhawk on Oct 1, 2007 10:05 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

In his defense...
Holliday's blown play in left was not his fault, and without that we would not be in this situation; instead Corpas would have closed it out in the ninth and we'd win.

But
leaving Fogg in to hit, then pulling him, pulling Atkins too early, having slow bat Kozanski ph in the wrong situation, useing Julio over all the other arms in the pen...are all his fault

by Redhawk on Oct 1, 2007 10:08 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He still has to do his job
we used three relievers in one inning, and gave away outs upon outs with questionable subs or no-subs.  He was right to use Carroll as a defensive sub, but when he came up in the eighth he should have come out, Koshansky had no shot at Bell, Torrealba now has been hitless over his last five...

We needed Garrett's bat. I didn't agree then, and still don't, with yanking him. Carroll hasn't exactly been sterling at the hot corner thus far.

We have to thank Dinger for his "head on backwards" mojo.  My 3.5 year old loves seeing him behind home plate.  At her first Rox game this year, Dinger took her out on the field for a picture.
