I can't wait.
But at least we got Stewart, Smith, and Iannetta all out there.

Okay...
Hopefully we can get ahead early and make this easy on our pitchers. Let’s get, say, 9 runs in the early innings so that we can just coast to an easy W. Infallible plan.

I love lead off hitters who average 1.2 pitches seen per AB.
That’s a made up stat, but I’m sure its not far off.

I agree,
He was barely out of the “positive contributor” category according to the numbers when I did my post this morning, and that sort of surprised me because I couldn’t recall a really poor outing for him like I can with most of our other relievers.

Another close game we could have won...
but Hurdle kept Rusch in there too long. Of course he had to stick to the maximum pitches he could use him for. Didn’t matter how many runs he allowed. Because of course we couldn’t use Grilli earlier andfor more time since he struck out derek lee and use someone who actually pitches well. HURDLE DOESN’T WANT TO WIN!!!Offense could have been better in situations that’s true for sure, but he always has to leave pitchers in for their maximum pitches! We have lost 11 straight road games, 18 of the last 20 roadgames and 15 of 20 overall! But we don’t want to change a thing, except the lineup. Maybe he could think about pulling his pitchers more quickly, doing whatever it takes to get A WIN!

Taveras cost us this game....
not just with his lame final AB when he failed to lift the bat off his shoulders. Earlier, he misplayed a flyball into a double that should have been caught, which cost us a run in that inning. When do we dispose of this worthless excuse for a player?

The Pods HR
actually depressed me. Because it meant I was gonna see Taveras go up against Marmol. Waste of time.

6/28/2005 “I went out and tried (to talk to Buddy Bell) twice, but I got his back. That was it. He obviously overrates how much power I have.” Clint “Rube” Hurdle commenting on his former boss’ refusal to talk to him during a recent visit to Denver. Hurdle admits trying to get Buddy fired after Bell let him keep his job, but thinks it was OK because he didn’t make the actual decision to fire him. One can only hope that he finds out someday how Buddy felt from first-hand experience.
