That comment wasn't directed at you at all

I know XBH are hits. It just seems like we’ve been getting a lot of singles lately, except for the Barmes and CarGo home runs. Just trying to express my pleasure at some slugging.

Wrong thing to say to Redhawk tonight.

I don’t know if you could have known that without going through the PuRPs thread though, and I deleted a couple of comments that would have made it more clear to take caution.

Two lefties

Not enough time to stretch him out.

The guy hasn’t pitched more than 40 pitches since being called up to the pen, which was ages ago. It simply isn’t physically possible unless we want at best 3 innings from our starter.

Morales has been a godsend in the pen

No way that a solid lefty reliever should be pushed into the rotation in the
middle of a pennant race.

He’s been successful at what he’s doing. He needs to keep doing it.

Remember a guy who wasn’t very good as a starting pitcher who turned into an excellent 8th-inning reliever? Taylor Buchholz.

Morales can do the same.

I’m not saying he can’t be a starter later in his career.

Just not this year. Keep him in th pen for now.

No records in the last 10 years should count.

I would be ok if it was for the remainder of this year only

and if we look at Chacin or Rogers, even Hynick, not Fogg or Eaton

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Agreed

I think we know what we’ll get out of Fogg or Eaton.

I’d prefer to take a roll on Chacin.

It’s tempting to wait until Sept. callups for him, but what’s the chance he’s going to need to be optioned back & forth a lot in future years?

I don’t think so. I predict he’s here to stay next year.

You don't use your bullpen much,

you get a rusty bullpen. No worries.

Also, if you dunk your bullpen in water, and let it sit out

you get a rusty bullpen. Lotsa ways.

Minor League Updates for anyone that cares

Esmil Rogers, not a good night in CSC giving up 5 in 4 innings, 4 BB’s

Weiser, 7 IP, no runs, 3 hits, only 1 K, but Tulsa won and is now in sole possession of 1st place

Freidrich in a pitcher’s duel, he’s gone 4 IP, 2 hits, 5 K’s, no runs

Our rotation was a very effective Jeff Francis, a very hot but very wild Ubaldo Jimenez, dragonslaying Josh Fogg, Mark Redmany Mark Redman, and a crazy combination of Morales, Elmer Dessens, and Ramon Ortiz.

nope

it’s not that bad. the worst we get is “Hi I’m New, and Barmes sucks – here’s 10 reasons why” fanposts and the occasional “LOL CORZ FIELD” and “LOL CHEAPFORTZ/O’DUD” fanposts

If it gets bad, Russ will step in

You got that right, the Giants offense is a joke

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Agreed

I made a comment about the ballpark, not the team.

tonight, that's what it's looking like

but the sheer number of very low scoring games we’ve seen the past 3 years makes it a lot better than it used to be

My hero of the game is DLR

He hung in there for six, and in retrospect, 6 runs in 6 innings was above the mean :)

the hanging in for 6 was what I wanted

Justin Miller and Merkin Valdez are bullpen

but not exactly top notch
