I want to beat the Stros just for the fact that I was on a podcast yesterday with some Astros fans and they kept calling Joe Ryan Jon Ryan. After about 10 minutes I corrected them and called them bozos. They think they are going to steamroll right through us.
Polo sits tomorrow. Julien at 2nd and Castro at 3rd. Can't afford to have sloppy defense at the hot corner.
Julien's at bats are way too good to take him out of the lineup and he gets on for Royce.
I know everyone is in love with Jeffers but this is playoff baseball people and runs are very difficult to come by. I am starting Vasquez because he is a superior defender compared to Jeffers.
Nice win!
One thing is still as clear as ever. Trevor Larnach can't hit Major League Pitching and why Detroit kept Badoo instead of Castro is beyond me.
Nice having Rocco away from the team as well!
I just turned the game on and I see our wonderful manager has pretty much burned through the entire roster in like 5 innings.
Does not look like we will have any arms left if we have to go extras.
I've just had enough of Rocco.
From his in game decisions to the way he handles the pitching staff to the way he prepares the guys to play on a daily basis.
He coddles these guys and it shows. Having optional BP, infield, etc.
I have had enough of this manager. 74 darn pitches and cruising and you pull him?
We will lose this game and the way this team is managed on a game by game basis is getting very hard to watch.
I think I will take missing the playoffs if it gets this manager fired.
You don't put a rookie pitcher in that situation who has barely been here for 24 hours.
That was an awful move made by an awful manager.
He can't even read his computer to see that Calhoun hits lefties better than righties.
So no he did not.
And for all of you Rocco supporters.
A managers main job is to put his players in positions to succeed.
Rocco does not, has not, and will never do that because he is in way over his head.
