Without Soria

I’m not nearly as confident that we can just go whoever-Cruz-Soria. That means we have to get 2 bridge innings to Cruz and I’m not sure 85 pitch Gil or 3rd/4th reliever is better. Tho, we probably won’t need the pen much tomorrow

This question is to George Brett

Is it valid to criticize Hillman there for not making the move one batter earlier?

And can I go ahead and say Ponson is a dumb move here that will completely backfire and if it works its just dumb luck?

Or can I not do that because I’ve never managed in the bigs?

by Will McDonald on May 20, 2009 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not necessarily.

Some places, the water table is too high so you can’t dig a basement. Other places have really hard or clay-based soil that’s hard to dig so it’s really expensive to try.

So........how many runs has our defense indirectly allowed? Three?

1. Coco overthrowing cutoff man
2. Aviles bobbling DP
3. Too long of a rundown allowing runner to get to 2b

this game is just a complete fucking giveaway

free HBP

Grain Valley destroyed them 11-1 in 6 innings. Fun game to watch.

Where is TPJ?

If my SS is going to hit below .200, I at least want him to have a good (if not slightly overrated) glove.
