Rowand44 626 Posted April 6, 2011 Just reading through the first few pages of the game thread and yes Milledge is horrendous in the outfield, you could have just watched opening day and figured that out, he's completely lost out there. And for whoever asked if he's worse than Pierre, considering Juan is a good defensive lf and Milledge is terrible, I'd say the answer would be yes. Anyways, it'd sure be nice to get some runs now.

Y2HH 29 Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) Instead of changing the hitting approach, I'd rather there be a change in the mind-set that outs while up to bat need to be valued, so stop making stupid running blunders on the bases and eliminate stolen base attempts. On the other side, show some type of proactivity in holding runners on or pitching out in obvious steal attempts. Or not pitching to good hitters in the 9th with a man on second, one out, and first base open? No, let's blame Walker...again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Y2HH 29 Posted April 6, 2011 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) cubs are keeping me entertained at least. the D'backs are terrible and they easily could have swept the cubs at home. Only the Cubs won the first two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fathom 5,551 Posted April 6, 2011 Whenever I get demoralized about an early season loss, I think back to 2005 when Shingo blew a 3 run lead to the Indians in Game 3 of the season by allowing 3 home runs in the 9th. I'm sure none of us could sleep that night either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBigHurt 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Wtf? I'm the one NOT making excuses. Someone can't read. Someone can't word posts correctly I guess. "Hitting coaches are pointless." "Then no reason for us to try a new one since things need to change, right?" "No..." lol. At the very least it's a contradiction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fathom 5,551 Posted April 6, 2011 Soft tossing lefty on getaway day with home opener tomorrow is recipe for disaster. Thing is, bats better show up tomorrow against David Price. Don't want to lose that game and rely on Humber if you want to win that series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Francis is quite hittable right now we're getting nothing. Jeff made a beautiful pitch against Pauly with 1st and 3rd and nobody out back a few innings ago but besides that our hitters just aren't having a good day up at the plate.

Someone can't read...again. So it' more logical to do nothing at all when you have a recurring problem than at least TRY something when you, in theory, have nothing to lose? Yeah, good logic.
