So that's what a hard hit ball looks like? I guarantee you that Logan scores this inning.

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:11 AM) this is one boring game Anyone else disappointed in the attendance tonight? I'm not sure if there was a post about that. I expected 5k more than what we have tonight.

How many hard hit balls do we have in the last two games? We had our 8-9-1 hitters that inning all swinging out of their asses. I have no problem with that, but don't build your team around smallball then.

BTW, any word on Uribe?

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) We've got no experienced infielders in the system. Probably should have held on to Valdez for insurance, although maybe he was out of options, dunno. There's some guys that are unsigned right now. They suck, but they're likely a hell of a lot better than Lopez.

I think Ozzie's saving Widger (not pr for A.J.) because we need a back-up infielder.

Yet Willie's my MVP because of his play at SS today.

This is ridiculous. DJ....Willie has no pop at all. That was a very selfish AB by Harris there.

This is why a roster decision needs to be made after tonight's game. You can't play a game with so little depth on the bench.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:04 AM) only way AJ scores from first is on a homer, the way he is moving. I don't get it. Last time I checked, Ozuna didnt hurt his legs?

Willie swinging for the fences also.

Crede is back to trying to pull every single pitch. He made good contact on that pitch also.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:02 AM) pinch runner for a guy with a bad toe? Ozuna could run, I'd imagine. That would be too much managing though for Oz.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:01 AM) Well, you know A.J. will try his best not to walk. Finally my reverse psychology worked!

Well, you know A.J. will try his best not to walk.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) in case anybody is looking for some good news: Brian Anderson had two more hits, including his fourth bomb, for charlotte tonight. He's hitting .338 -- almost as well as Dye. BMac struck out 11 to get the win. But he didn't really pitch well. Gave up 4 earned in 6 2/3 Sorry. You can return to corpseball. Thanks for the update. Anderson can't get here soon enough.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:56 AM) We complained about tinkering with Manuel. It's pretty obvious there's a general lack of hitting on this team now, and no amount of tinkering can change that. Rowand batting 5th instead of Dye is like pick your poison. A major lineup move I want to see is Rowand batting 3rd against lefties. He destroyed lefties last year, and Everett is a very poor hitter vs lhp. So far, I know the results haven't been great with Rowand, but I guarantee he'll be hitting above .300 vs lefties by the end of the season.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:54 AM) That was a message. Pay attention and stop f***ing off. I will take you out no matter what. Good point, but how can we send the same message to Ozzie?

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:53 AM) Cubs won 3-2 f*** The Astros offense is absolutely pathetic right now. Half their starting lineup shouldnt be in the majors.

I'd like to see a totally new lineup tomorrow to try and get something going.

How many guys have we thrown out this year stealing? Seems like it's been maybe one or two.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:50 AM) diet pepsi with no caffeine? what they hell is hawk talking about? thought he only liked that with captain in it Hawk's getting stranger and stranger as the years go on. I was really embarassed by his reaction in Oakland on Wednesday.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 02:49 AM) Luis V cant pitch to righties, he is better against lefties. Now we have Marte who pitches better to righties and has problems with lefties. We all can see it, maybe someone can tell the manager to check the stats a bit. Ozzie doesn't seem to believe in lefty/righty matchups it seems this year.

Anyone else feel like we're overusing Marte and Vizcaino? Politte has earned the chance to pitch in close games.

Marte getting squeezed this inning. Makes up for the small zone Farnsy had last inning.
