Josh Hamilton is getting a day off

Josh Hamilton is sitting today -- he wants to play, but Ron Washington says he needs a day off.

At least he's sitting against Scott Kazmir, a lefty, but still...if Josh really needed a day off, why not sit him this weekend during the day game against a lefty, since he can't hit lefties, can't hit in the day, and definitely can't hit lefties in the day.

Because Wash didn't read your comments about this until after the game

He just found out Hammy ain’t so great against lefties.

Baby steps. Baby steps.

"You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

Then he grounded out weakly to second.

by jonathan rigby on May 17, 2010 5:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

maybe at the time but now looks like a terrible move

dont forget we also passed on pudge to get harden……pudge would have been great for marketing and is hitting over .300

and milwood who we basicly traded to get harden looks bad too….. considering only a 2.5 million dollar difference between the 2

not just that

if you want to give Josh a day off, you had 3 days in Toronto on turf to get him a day off…now we sit him during a home game, at night, against the fn Angels so Borbon and Murph can play against a lefty? Well, i don’t like it…

But, in typical Ron fashion, his stupidity will somehow payoff…

by Longhorn on May 17, 2010 5:18 PM CDT up reply actions  

On the bright side

maybe Borbon will suck so badly they finally realize they need to send him down. I’m thinking 5K’s and a throw from the outfield that bounces a couple of times before it reaches the cutoff man.
