8/22/07 game day thread

I know there is a lefty pitching but Id like to see Murphy get a lot of playing time the rest of the year. Dont know his minor league walk numbers but maybe give him a look at the leadoff spot.

Chris Young apparently might have strained his lower back last night when he pitched against the Mets. He's going to miss his next start for sure. I think he'll be OK.

I dunno what to think of our hitters at times.

Botts up 2-0. Get two straight below average fastballs right down the middle of the plate and cant even put them in play. Luckily he got a call from the ump to walk.

Cruz up 2-0 and swings at an offspeed pitch in the dirt. Then proceed to strikeout.

I know im nitpicking after a 20 run game but stuff like that really discourages me. At least Laird went opposite field for a hit.

go with the hot hand. Forget about what hes done in the past. Perhaps Rudy has taught him a few things since then. It won't be long til Hanks back anyways right?

but he'd be better than Vasquez till Blalock gets back, more exciting to see what Metcalf does instead of what Vasquez does now that He's in the big leagues......I think he should still be getting regular AB's in AAA, but hell the kid has done good today, but so has Vasquez.....but if anything he's better than Melhuse, and we'd solidify a top 5 pick lol

what the hell are you talking about

i looked at the previous 20 or so posts before yours, and almost all of it is about the game.

talking about the double header record is certainly part of this game.

but even if we were talking 100% about 30-3... uh, hello, this is a dead season that has been TERRIBLE the past few games with getting completely beat down by pitchers, and then we set a record. thats worth of a weeks discussion, let alone talking about it a couple hours later.

Good strategy. Young steals on a Lefty. Sac fly. Sac fly. Corey Patterson's weak arm.

Corey Patterson

doesnt really have a weak arm. Roberto Clemente wouldnt have thrown anyone out on those two fly balls.

He sees things.

Patterson defines weak arm. He threw a one hopper to the cut-off man.

by 3Bagger on Aug 22, 2007 9:52 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

7 more runs !!

to tie the doubleheader record. Hey they scored 25 in the last 4 innings earlier. Is 7 asking too much ?

so is kinsler officially fixed defensively?

hes been completely solid since his DL stint, and working with was during that time gives some reasoning.

not gold glove worthy, but he seems like hes been at least average since hes been back.

by DSheppard on Aug 22, 2007 9:47 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs

He seems like a real streaky defender

all his errors were bunched up to start the year, hopefully he is fixed

However its only fair that he gets a couple hundred more at bats before we an properly evaluate.

he was pitching so well too. such good placement with most of his pitches.

but just had to throw too many pitches when payton took those two borderline pitches to start the count.

Laird & Strikes

The pitch that Laird threw into RF was a strike also (called a ball). In a one-run game, why do the quick throw to 1st? That started the decline also.

the number of times Lewin has mentioned the 30 runs from game 1...it is beyond annoying at this point. I should have a long time ago but finally I muted my sound.
