I'd like to see...

a switch up in the lineup like the first game kind of lineup. I think Tulo should be dropped or switched or something. Last year a change in scenery was what he needed. Instead, we get the same old same old:
1. Taveras
2. Tulo
3. Helton
4. Holliday
5. Atkins
6. Hawpe
7. Torre
8. Nix
9. Jimenez

Oh well…let’s just hope that this lineup starts producing, because it’ll probably be a familiar sight.

First game of this series...

I meant. I don’t mean play all the backups again, but do mess with the batting order a bit.

Lineup

I know this lineup is the one we will be seeing more and more… but i kinda liked friday’s lineup. Esp Tulo in the 5 hole.
Just thinking… maybe someday this lineup will be used.
1. Taveras
2. Nix(Barmes)
3. Holliday
4. Helton
5. Tulo/atkins
6. Atkins/tulo
7. hawpe
8. Torre
/ know the L/R don’t offset, BUT i think this would be a decent lineup
//I know Nix has to become decent at the plate. I wonder if Barmes overtakes him at somepoint this year. If Barmes does, then there is the possibility that TUlo could move to the 5/6 slot

I liked Tulo in the 5 slot...

Hopefully (doubtfully) we’ll see him there some more.

Let us hope that Shawn Chacon

pitches like the Shawn Chacon we all knew and hated (I can’t be the only one who remembers “1-9, 31 SV, 7.71”).

Let’s go, Rox!

But I don’t think it’s a wise idea to keep trotting this lineup out when the mix ups have worked so well. That’s entirely gut feeling, not a prediction.

U-ball can be dominant

I’m talking bonafide number 1 ace material, he just has to learn how to pitch, learn how to pound the strike zone, and learn how to pitch hitters differently their 2nd and 3rd times around and keep focus late in games.

I wouldn't be so upset...

with all these people playing if it wasn’t the same lineup over and over. I would MUCH rather have Iannetta in there, but what about putting Nix elsewhere in the lineup, moving Tulo, something? Maybe even switching them? They both need a change in scenery.

Not a term that is applied very frequently to his pitching but it applies today so far.

Lets see how deep into the game he can pitch like this.

It would be great to have one hallmark performance for him to look back upon and for the coaches and catchers to be able to remind him of just what he is capable of if he pitches the right way.

EXACTLY

if he can do at the majors what he did in the minors (not counting false numbers in Col Springs last year) he’s a .230 hitter.

Except

Tulo was projected to be a good hitter, and was still young in baseball age. Nix has never hit, and is actually old (for a rookie) and near his “peak”

Off current topic

but to answer Silverblood’s earlier question:

Usually teams wait until the end of April to shake players up. I think Nix should be sent to AA Tulsa where he can hit normal balls. and Q should be brought up as the new Utility guy (not cause he’s good, but because he’s not bad AND left handed)

we’re all overreacting. Uball got unlucky on two weak grounders that sneak through and we’re throwing him under the bus. Yes, he let it get to him a bit, but come on, he’s still only allowed 3 through 5 innings and was dominant for the first two outs of the inning. Yes, he has a bit of a history of melting down, but let’s not blow a 2-run inning out of proportion. We’re still within one run.

Really?

They're currently

beating the crap out of the Cards. 8-0 after shutting them out last night.

Just make it stop.

Yeah, well,

I think the Tulsa Drillers could beat the Cards 6 of 10 this year.

The Cards are actually

12-6 thus far. Not that I see it lasting, but they’re off to a good start.

Just make it stop.

Hey

if Nix is that much in demand…trade him for the same kinda player we got out of Jamie Carroll

Uh-oh

Uball for another inning…? At least according to Gameday.

Just make it stop.

We have just lost this game.

U-Ball is out there again, on pace to give up three runs this inning.

Wow

That was ball 4

Got away with one there.

That was a walk that turned into a strikeout, thanks to Plateglass Pence’s lack of plate discipline.

that was OVER his HEAD

thanks for that gift!

J.R. Towles

is fulfilling the Astros’ HBP quota in the absence of Craig Biggio.

I HATE YOU, UBALDO JIMENEZ.

Oh brother. Come on, Uball.

That’s what happened to him.

Shaq's done?

Drew was doing the stats on him like he was done for the day, I must’ve missed the PH for him while getting pizza for lunch.

Drew mentioned that UBall’s spot is up next inning, Hurdle hopes he gets through this inning then get a PH for UBall.

He’ll let U-ball hit and then pull him anyway…

Mark Wegner

is the worst umpire, bar none, in the Bigs. He’s blown at least three calls today.

Hell

maybe he’s paying us back after he let us get away with one yesterday?

Thank you, Hurdle.

Barmes comes in for Nix, U-Ball leaves. A surprising stroke of genius from the purveyor of HurdleLogic™.

Um

Time to close the book on Uball and get him off to talk with Apodaca STAT.

First pitch ball.

BB to load the bases for Berkman, coming up.

by Tyler Boschert on Apr 20, 2008 2:05 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

First

it was one pitch.

Second, it would be Danny Almonte, not Fat Elvis.
