Just once, I want to see Tad argue with an ump.

Brian Anderson can still destroy John Mabry. Don't forget it.

Javy with 95 pitches. I imagine he'll start the 8th, and any hit will lead to him being pulled.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) No, it does not, but when you're struggling, if you make a small change and suddenly it works, the most important thing it does? Confidence. Javy may walk out of this inning feeling like he's found his marbles. And Vazquez + Marbles should scare the daylights out of the AL. YOU HAVE NO MAHHHHHBULS

HE GONE 12 K

So....we can get Javy into the 8th. Maybe the 9th from Cotts or Riske and that's game. Maybe even Javy in the 9th if he has a quick 8th.

Over the hump?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) Javy's only at 81 pitches. I'd try and milk every out I could get from Javy this game. As Balta said, we're just beginning a stretch of 23 straight games without a day off. Or as I said before him....

Well, I love AJ but he doesn't take a pretty picture....

Beltran has a RATE of 113...

SINISTER SIXTH SLAUGHTERED

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Is anyone better? And if so, who? I can't imagine that anyone has. Two gone.

Nice start.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 05:03 PM) It's down a lot (was 124 when the article was written). http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=5200 Still 14 higher than Andruw, and 18 higher than Rowand.

Balta, can you find the article about BA's defense from BP again? I just looked it up and he has a RATE of 116, which I think is down a little?

Get him in Tad. A six run lead would be neato.

Way to not look like a major league hitter Scott.

Absolut robbed a little. Brian! two bagga

With 70-75 pitches, it wouldn't hurt to have him pitch a while. We've got a LONG stretch where we're gonna need the pen. If we can get 100 pitches out of Javy, or even more, we do it. QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) It's getting to me Heads, this Brisket. It's a GOOD LOOKING sandwich.

HE GONE Pitches over it. God that's nice to see.

HE GONE

Yes. EVEN STEVENS Javy can't seem to find teh black anymore.

He Gone. Yup, let's pull Javy. Two hits.

spiff.

I'll give Javy a mulligan there. What matters is how he responds here.
