isn't it sad that

Glendon Rusch has been our best pitcher…lol that’s how you can tell this season has been terrible and embarrassing…lol

this team is utter rubbish...

Yorvit

was supposed to start, but now he’s injured. Looks like he’ll go on the DL, as Adam Melhuse is on his way to the ballpark right now.

I was wondering, the day after a night game start seemed out of character

for Hurdle’s typical lineup construction. Let’s hope we benefit from this.

Update

Yorvit hasn’t been placed on the DL, but is being looked at by the team’s medical staff. Melhuse has replaced Sully on the roster.

Rusch has been a pretty good pick-up, all told.

Seeing as the Rockies will need to sigh a couple of guys like him in the offseason for insurance, I wouldn’t mind if he was one of them. Certainly a better option than Mark Redman.

Willy T's liking the two hole,

Maybe leading off is just too much pressure for him.

5 pitch inning for Haren,

Just call it a hunch, but I think more Haren and less AZ bullpen shouldn’t have been put into our gameplan today. Whoever it was that was okay with that idea needs a paradigm shift.

Rusch is looking good...

we just need to work more counts with Haren and we’ll have a decent chance.

Woot,

I never like rooting for injuries, but without Atkins and Spilly, I hate our lineups lately when Iannetta sits. SO in this case, particularly since it’s against the D-backs, I’m kind of glad Yorvit couldn’t play today.

Atkins at least is at the ballpark today...

so hopefully he should be back soon. CDI has really proven to be an offensive factor and has caught several good games. Rusch has been great, I am very happy for him.

Well they haven't shown him...

but you never know, he could be hiding out in the diamondbacks dugout infecting them. Maybe he’s dressed as dinger so he could easily at least get on top of their dugout. Poor Atty wants to spread the germs haha.

13 pitches total to the top three in our lineup in six AB's

I think the winter will do him the most good as far as our team goes

Just some rest and mental recuperation so he’s not putting so much pressure on himself. Next season should see him bounce back to a decent level of production.
