Someone made the post a bit earlier about Carlos Lee and his running blunders. I am too lazy to look up which one us did that post, but Carlos has made some real boneheaded running plays this year. Last year he did the same, if I remember right. Ozzie had best put a boot up Carlos' rear ender and shake the "kid" up a bit. He has no idea what he is doing on the basepaths sometimes.

Neal is throwing balls to Guerrero here in the 9th after walking a guy.

I was going to add that he was throwing over to first and getting behind on Vlad and wasn't concentrating on the hitter. Figgins steals 2B and Vlad then walks.

Cotts with 2 pitches to Guillen in the dirst blocked by Miggy. Wild and hopefully he doesn't give up another run.

K's Davanon after another blocked one in the dirt. He hung in there. 3 BB's and 4 K's. It is all or nothing with this kid isn't it?

Valentin caught looking at strike 3. That's 4 k's today and this is not the first time this year either.

BUt he's ozzie's guy. DOnt tell ozzie Jose stinks. He might swear at you.

 

Uribe and Harris maybe the best up the middle combo on this team, but as long as he is under contract, Williams and Ozzie will continue to trot him out there.

And the problem with it is....?

 

He also hit the ball just foul in his 3rd at bat and missed a 2-run homer in the 4th....Them's the breaks.

 

He'll hit a couple off HR tomorrow and from there on out it's into summer months where some of those towering drives are gonna start siling out. :cheers

Unfortunately for Jose, his agent can't really sell foul ball homeruns when negotiating a contract. His bunting for sacrifice has been horrible lately. There has been 3 times the last week he didn't get the job done. There is a big difference between striking out and making outs other ways. If you hit the ball, you make the defense make a play, you also can advance runners. Pitchers tend to not pitch as well with runners on 2nd and 3rd, as opposed to 1st and 2nd. Thats not even taking into consideration passed balls and wild pitches. Two four K games with one three K game in a week is unacceptable.
