QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:36 AM) Why would he be out? He's given up 5 hits (only 3 hit hard) and 0 walks in 6 IP. Who in their right mind would take a pitcher out with a pitch count of 75 in that situation? And the last person to make such a move would be Ozzie, in all honesty.

Very good pitch by Garland.

I think Widger is taking his soft ball swings again. If Jim Parque was pitching, he have a couple of homers.

Grudz shows Graffy what it takes to field a spinner off of Uribe's bat.

I promise I won't jinx it, but I think Mientkiewicz is polish for Warning Track Power.

Whew....that looked dangerous off the bat.

2 HIGH fly balls. Hopefully Garland can get some sink on this next batter.

Ok....be careful with fastballs to Sanders....PLEASE!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) Grudz is gonna wear us out this year. He's one of those guys who seem to always reach base when you root against him, but when you want him to get a hit, he looks like s***.

Pods didn't get that throw off very well. And what a shock...Sweeney's up with the chance to tie.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) I like it with Paulie as hot as he is. That was a bulls*** strike call. But you don't want to make the 3rd out on the bases, and have Thome lead off the next inning.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) There isnt much point in benching Anderson more. Give the B.A. experiment till AT LEAST June till they pull the plug I like playing Mackowiak just because you're giving one of the guys a chance to get in a groove. We're going to need some more production from our CF as we're playing tough teams over the next few weeks. We face Santana on Friday, so Anderson would get 2 days off before playing Friday night.

Good job Scotty....even if I HATE stealing with Thome up and 2 outs.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) Unfortunately, he really hasn't been much better than Anderson. Under the circumstances, shouldn't Ozzie just let the kid play? Isn't everyone a "kid" to Ozzie?

I think it's safe to say Mackowiak will be starting in CF tomorrow.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) Yeah, I'd definitely rather face him than Washburn. The other two don't strike much fear in me, however. Bring on Washburn. I'll take our righty launchers again his high fastball any day. That noise you hear is Brian Anderson crying that we won't face Felix.

Wow...not a good throw by Crede. Hopefully this isn't like the bottom of the 4th. Dangerous hitter at the plate in Costa.

BTW, according to my calculations, we'll miss Felix Hernandez in Seattle next week. Looks like we'll get Moyer, Pineiro, and possibly Washburn.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) Way to go Uribe. Now we got to hope Jon can keep this lead and that our bats can muster up some more insurance runs. Is it too much to ask for an uneventful top of the 5th inning?

Jphat....WE CAUGHT A BREAK! Great job of taking advantage guys.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 12:58 AM) Strange play. Nice piece of hitting Joe. It was strange, but if the throw's on line, Dye's out before Thome crosses home.

Way to go Joe....great looking swing. Thome didn't seem to be running well that inning, and I'm shocked that Sanders didn't throw home.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) PK gets the f*** jammed out of him. 2 down. Our hitters are struggling with Affeldt's heater tonight.

Garland's had very good command of his fastball. He's still struggling to keep his changeup down.

I get the sense that a lot of guys are in launch mode tonight.
