Deceptive line score...

looked much better after walking the first 2 batters on 10 pitches after a 71 minute rain delay

Okay

Had to warm up 3 times after a rain delay and was a little wild, but he only gave up 1 run. All things considered, he did pretty well, but the bullpen melted down right after we took a 6 run lead.

Say, did you get my e-mail re: the sig thing?

Random Question

why the hell do we keep running feldman out there? This is getting absurd IMO. I don’t understand why we don’t put him in the pen and roll with Padilla, BMAc, Millwood, Nippert, and Harrison for the rest of the year. We’ve been hearing about this move since the all star break and he’s still getting put out there. Its starting to piss me off

by erikj07 on Aug 24, 2008 10:03 PM CDT   0 recs

Uhhh... Millwood and BMac just came back from injuries

They haven’t had a chance to take him out of the rotation.

UHHH...

Feldman is scheduled to make the start in the next couple days.

Hunter shouldn’t be in the rotation either.

NVM....

I clearly said what the rotation would be in the post. Apparently yall don’t read. Not saying Nippert is good, but at least it would save Feldman’s arm and limit his innings

to increase innings. Feldman is the guinea pig

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 24, 2008 10:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Regardless....

wouldn’t you rather us take a look at Nippert while saving Feldman’s arm since we are out of the race? Why risk his health when there really is no reason to keep running him out there every 5th day?
