Holy cow that is an ugly lineup

Atkins’ neck must be too stiff, but really, Baker? Over Stewart? Playing in the bandbox might help Stewart collect a few cheapies…

We're all going to die!

Moyer's a lefty, Stewart's a lefty, and ergo, Stewart must not hit him

Clearly that has to be the case, right? I mean it’s the case every time with every hitter in the history of the universe that left handed hitters don’t hit left handed pitchers right? I mean don’t bother to look up the numbers because I know that Clint Hurdle and I am right on this. And especially don’t bother to look up Stewart’s numbers against left-handers this year versus Baker’s or you might just get depressed.

by Rox Girl on May 26, 2008 4:46 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Oh what the heck:

I’ll depress people, anyway:

Stewart (AAA) .304/.381/.589
Baker (MLB) .067/.158/.067

Yep, Jeff Baker hits southpaws about as well as Ubaldo Jimenez hits period.

Yeah, it could be a long night...

This one definitely smacks of Hurdle indigestion right now, but my guess is that Hurdle’s putting too much weight on what Baker did in game 3 of the NLDS.

by Rox Girl on May 26, 2008 4:57 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Which, um

was after Moyer came out of the game. And besides, JDLR against the Phillies, in their park, after they scored 15 runs yesterday. It’s going to be a long night period.

We're all going to die!

by Silverblood on May 26, 2008 4:58 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But you see, Moyer...

started that game and who cares if Baker got his hit off of Romero, he’s obviously good mojo in Moyer starts. Actually, I think that hit has given Baker most of his leeway this season.

by Rox Girl on May 26, 2008 5:02 PM MDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I'm almost certain

Baker rescued Hurdle’s dog from some unfortunate circumstance. Of course, there’s probably five or six players with that kind of inexplicable long leash.

Think of it this way:

In Philly, we might cheat our way into five runs anyway. Of course, with JDLR giving up 10, this may only be scant comfort.

I'm all for Atkins reclaiming third every day

but as long as Stewart is here, he should not sit behind Baker….

When do we get to pull the plug on the Jeff Baker experience anyway?

by David OhNo on May 26, 2008 5:11 PM MDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That's where my stand is...

He’s a 27 year old corner infielder who still isn’t hitting MLB pitching with enough frequency to be above replacement level. That’s pretty bad.

I could not agree more

Since Stewie is here, I want him playing. But Hurdle must have eaten a questionable cheesesteak today.
