    Duffy to start with. After that, I would have stayed away from the three guys that pitched the 8th on Monday because none of them had anything. Give them some rest. Pressly in particular.
  2. wsnydes
    No, but they're bringing on their third pitcher already. Two of the three relievers that pitched the 8th Monday are among the first guys into this game. Does Paul even realize that he's got other guys out there?
  3. wsnydes
    Does this qualify as a higher leverage situation for Duffy?
  4. wsnydes
    How long before he ends up on the DL?
  5. wsnydes
    WHAT DO YOU THINK OF CASTRO NOW?!?!?!?! my opinion hasn't changed much either.
  6. wsnydes
    Hey, it's not an odd numbered inning! What does he think he's doing?!?!
  7. wsnydes
    Eddie Guardado?
  8. wsnydes
    My bad, Mejia is slated for tomorrow. Gibson for Friday.
  9. wsnydes
    Only good things happen when Buxton is on the bases.
  10. wsnydes
    I'm guessing that you'll change your tune tomorrow.
  11. wsnydes
    You say that as if it's happened recently...
  12. wsnydes
    I see that the old score a run give it right back routine has returned. I don't like it.
  13. wsnydes
    Castro.
  14. wsnydes
    Similar to a runner hit by a batted ball, closest one to the play I believe. That's a good question though.

    Meet the new right fielder, Bugs Bunny!

    Santiago come hell or high water.
  17. wsnydes
    True. They're all over the place in the metro right now and it's windy.
  18. wsnydes
    This agree with. I think it's possible it is a sign, but I don't think there's enough evidence to make that claim at this point.

    While a fair point and that is an ok plan heading into the game, a 6 run lead with 6 outs to go is a perfect spot to use one of those guys and rest the remainder of your pen. There was no need to burn through one let alone three of your primary relievers. If the idea is that you won't run a guy out there because you don't trust him, then he shouldn't have been called up in the first place. I could understand your stance a bit more if it were a close game, but that was not the case at all. The point would still be that a guy that isn't trusted shouldn't be called up in the first place. Clearly we're just going to have agree to disagree. The differences are philosophical in nature so nothing either of us says is going to change anyone's mind. I'm fine with that.

    Then why promote guys that won't be used? That's lunacy. Why waste the plane ticket fare? What happens if you actually need them? It's interesting to note that the only relievers used yesterday were Boshers and Wheeler. They were effective enough to hold a 6 run lead.
  21. wsnydes
    I have the same feeling. I've mostly enjoyed the ride thus far, but my expectations have remained tempered. There's still a lot of baseball to be played, for better or for worse and baseball is a funny game. It giveth and often taketh away. I'm interested to see how the younger core players respond and I think that'll go a long ways to showing what this team could be made of going forward - not just the remainder of this season, but future seasons as well.
  22. wsnydes
    The good ones do anyway.
  23. wsnydes
    That's where Rucinski and Wheeler come into play. They're fresh, the rest of your pen isn't. A 6 run lead with 6 outs remaining to get is a tailor made situation for emergency call ups. Use them and spare your taxed bullpen. If those guys fail and the win is important to you, it's not for me in this case, then you bring in the Pressly's of the world. They should be your last options, not your first. This isn't hindsight for me. I've been less worried about the outcome than I am the process. Molitor simply left himself fewer options for the next game again. He was in the same situation for a second game needlessly. He didn't get three of his "best" relievers rest that they needed. My priorities heading into Monday's game were preserve the bullpen first, win the game second. Wheeler and/or Rucinski may have gotten shelled and they lose anyway, but I'm okay with that because I preserved the core of my bullpen and I can go after normally Tuesday.

    Is that all?!

    I asked the very same thing yesterday. It doesn't make a ton of sense. If Falvine did overrule him, it would be great if all the powers that be could get on the same page.
