Then it was stolen by Sir Francis Drake,

I wonder how much bad history I can post before Russ bans me?
BTW, I got the Bacon really wrote Shakespeare reference but decided to go another direction. Your joke was better than mine and I’m bitter about it.

No, they throw him a strike
which he TAKES with the pitcher up next & 2 runners in scoring position.
Cardinal sin (except the Cards don’t do things like that)
No records in the last 10 years should count.

Wish they’d clinched last night so they wouldn’t feel compelled to win one

Maybe we should have pinch hit
for Hammel to build our lead and start the inning with Morales?
The one out Hammel got wasn’t worth letting him hit.

Morales has worried me lately.
It seems like his last three outings or so have been heart-attack worthy and it makes me sad.

There is no level of comfort with Morales in the game
It seems like he’s reverted back to his 2007 headcase ways

The look on Morales' face
is one I’ve seen somewhere else recently.
Brad LIdge.
Morales’ confidence is shot, which is bad for a reliever.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
Good thing the season's almost over...
It’s disconcerting, but this usually (please don’t go Rick Ankiel on us Frankie) is a passing thing. This does trouble me for the playoffs or what’s left of this season.
Like I mentioned above
I think getting put in as a closer has messed with his head.
In hindsight, Betancourt would’ve been better for closing while Street was out.

why the FUCK is Franklin in there? Do you not remember what happen in the 1st game? Or the other outings where he simply lost it? One of most stupid move ever by Tracey. Even worst he keeps leaving him in there.
I think this use of cussing...was well timed..

I honestly didn’t get this move in the first place with Hammel pitching as solid as he was and Frankin not pitching that great lately. Daley should be our main 7th innnig guy and Morales get his act together. Until then don’t use him in close games.

What I meant was
it was Morales this time, but it’s been others before
Hammel’s left several games with leads
No records in the last 10 years should count.
Tracy Fail
he should never bring Morales in with such a slim lead, until he can prove that his head is back on straight
Dammit, why did we have to go that route?
Should have let Hammel pitch himself out of it.

Out of it?
There was one man on. There was no it. He was only at 87 pitches.

Im not trying to be negative...
but this inning is on Tracy…why go to Morales right there? Hammel is pitching well, you just left him in to hit with two runners in scoring position…Morales has been shaky his last three times out. Bad move.
Check out my website...www.rockiesreview.com
It's like he's trying them all out to figure out who to keep for the playoffs
But it’s sabotaging our efforts to GET to the playoffs.

Gwynn (lefty) was up, then pitchers spot. He got a fluke bloop. If that's caught, I'm sure Mo gets out of it
he still should have beared down though
I want post season
Must have changed his mind....
after deciding to let Hammel hit.
Yes, at least Morales should have been
on an ultral tight leash…..considering his last few performances.

As much as pitching wins are worthless
Hammel deserved on. Can he pleaaase have his 10th win already?!?!?!?!?!

Last time an otherwise good pitcher was this erratic
He was injured. Reminds me of Cookie’s last two starts before the DL.
Prediction: Morales injury report coming after the game…

They tell us W's for pitchers are meaningless
and they’re often right

but not this time, I'm sorry...:(

This inning was way to overmanaged by Tracy
you can’t throw in a guy who has struggle, thats a Hurdle move.
Charlie Manuel's figuring that out in Philly too
The key is don’t put a guy in a situation he’s failed at more than once in recent games.
Give him a few days off, or use him in a different situation. After the first walk, Morales should’ve been out of there immediately, and someone should have been ready to come in.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
Exactly, why pull him at all?
He wasn’t in a jam, his pitch count was fine. I don’t get why he was pulled at all. Forget who he put in.
I don't get it either...

Of course
A timely hit by CDI would’ve been handy last inning
Seriously
the double play was out of order, all you need to do is put it in play, and he looks at strike 3…
I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.
Don't be too hard on him,
He’s one of our better hitters this game. A timely hit by Fowler or Spilly anytime they’ve been up would have helped as well.
this does seem like a must win
even if its just for the confidence

You would think that his stint as a closer would've helped him
but it seemed to have destroyed his confidence and seems to have ruined his effectiveness.
He worries me a low 20 something pitcher
who has lost his confidence sometimes it never comes back…

Only hard hit ball off Hammel
was the homerun. Tracy used to have confidence in letting his starters who were effective go 7 innings, at least. Now he’s become matchup happy, which was a Hurdle flaw.
Triple?
Or was that a lucky triple. No radio or video for me :(
by KindredSprites on Sep 24, 2009 8:38 PM MDT up reply actions
It was well-placed....
but I guess it was hit hard. My point still stands.
it seems like the roster expansion
made him think that he had to use every man at his disposile i dont know how to spell that word

WHY??
That move makes no sense at all??
Thats the one thing I hate about Tracy, leave the hot pitcher in!!!
His managing makes no sense
He’ll leave in a struggling Marquis until he implodes, but pulls Hammel who has pitched great
I think we worshipped him?
I’ve questioned his moves every now and then too.

He must look at the situations differently since we were losing in one and winning in the other.
But I still see no reason to pull Hammel when he did.
Look at the bright side
If we lose tonight…..oh never mind. I just can’t optimise away how mad I feel at this very moment
Let me guess...Ethier?
