finally a pinch hitter for pena…lets earn that money jose

Guillen

He’s gonna come through right here.

by Randa4life on Apr 24, 2008 9:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

im feeling it

although i was thinking german might be the better move here as a pinch hitter b/c he’ll have to go into the game anyways so our bench options should this game go extra or something are nil

by billybeingbilly on Apr 24, 2008 9:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yep true

Unless Hillman gets very creative

by Randa4life on Apr 24, 2008 9:09 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Also...

Is anyone else starting to think maybe Olivo should play more often?

by Randa4life on Apr 24, 2008 9:10 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

ive been saying for weeks now...

that buck and olivo should play simultaneously 4-5 times/week. we are so power deprived to have one of them on the bench. plus, its not like ross and his misplayed grounders and occasional infield hits are earning his PT

then we’ll win game 2 easy

Me too, I think that he’ll really work out for our organization. It’d be nice to hold a good reliever for a long time.

Yeah their stances are similar

because that’s a typical infield stance!

It was 60F with sun and no wind the last two days, but today we have smoke from Siberian forest fires and dust from Mongolian storms with wind from an approaching cold front in the Aleutians conspiring to hold the temps in the mid 40’s. I’m inside today. That’s 5:52PM in shorthand.

Well, this far south we can’t live that far west without being Pacific Islanders.

Anyway, we’re about 2 dozen miles from the Pacific here as the turkey vulture flies — that is, if they flew that far. Some would say that qualifies us as “west coasters”.

In japan they play septa-headers

and guys throw 5000 pitches and they play the game the RIGHT WAY

(has anyone noticed how much baseball broadcasters love japanese baseball? its incredible. EVERYTHING ichiro or fukudome does is like the most awesome thing ever)

I've noticed this, and my best guess on its popularity would be

That it takes these old geezers in the announcers booth back to the “good ol’ days”, when the sacrifice bunt was king and pitchers got to throw 300 pitches a game.

If there’s one way to break up this losing streak, it’s putting our batting our best hitter 6th. And Pena’s starting again.

When does everyone admit that Teahen’s glorious 1/3 season of hitting for power two years ago was a fluke?

Perspective

George Brett’s fourth season in the majors: .333, 7 HR, .7-1 K/BB ratio. (Teahen’s never had a season worse than .5-1, by the way.)

No, I’m not trying to compare Teahen to Brett; I’m just saying, don’t throw him out with the bathwater. He’s in a slump, and he’s probably never going to be a power guy, but he’s still a decent bat.

He’s been saying all the right things. Instead of just shrugging off his bad start (like he’s been known to in the past), he’s talking about being pissed off that he’s letting the team down.

Split

I like that he just said the “thousand or so” fans left in the stadium didn’t notice Butler’s gaffe. I remember Split giving it to MacDougal one game when a bases loaded grounder was hit right to him and he air-mailed the throw home about 30 feet over the catcher’s head. I think I’d like to have a beer with him.

This team needs a major change

We need a legit bat, or this is going to be a long year. Let’s face it, Gordon and Butler aren’t the problem. Dejesus isn’t the problem, he’s hit when played. Teahan is slumping, but he’s been decent. The problem is… Ross Gload, Joey Gathright, Tony Pena Junior, and the rest of the jokers we’ve been running out there. Guillen has sucked, he’ll get better, but he’s no world beater. Bring on Barry Bonds.

I'm just frustrated with Gload tonight

His rotten fielding and pathetic situational hitting totally cost us the first game.

I know Shealy isn’t doing too great in AAA right now. I still think that he’s got the skills and power he showed in 2006 (4 homers so far!), and if someone went down injured, I wouldn’t make a slow start in the minors cause me to hesitate to call him up.
