Using position players as pitchers at the end of a blowout is bullshit. It really urinates me. Harrison pitching the 9th is perfect example. Customers paid big league prices to watch MLB professionals play the game. That does not include an over the hill second sacker to come in and pitch the 9th and give up another 4 runs or so. They have a 13 man pitching staff, which includes 5 starters. Use one of the other 8 pitchers.

When I was your age, it was very easy to get a list of the 40-man roster. Not so anymore.

That doesn't change the 40-man roster.

who gets dropped from the 40 man?

Madrigal missed last couple of games after a mini hot streak.

I hope they play both kids today at second and short.

Ball breaker. Biggest At Bat of the game.

Thanks, guys.

I know something about all those guys mentioned above, except for Joh Cannon. Who he?

I'm there too, pal, and I see it in myself all the time.

I hope they fly Romy in vs the Greyhound Bus.

All true.

All true. But still, Vaughn came out and Sheets went to RF. That earlier mis-play by Vaughn hurt him.

I'm sure everyone noted that Sheets stayed in the game in the 9th for defensive purposes and Vaughn came out.

Couple hundred games to go, give or take.

Not many games left, Bob. Why not play them in all games?

I never heard the expression "Throws Shade".

As I implied in the game thread, we owe thanks to Dusty Baker for making this one possible. Astro starter was cruising with 2 outs in 8th, and Pollock gets a nubber down the line for a hit. Of course, this calls for a new pitcher. Rest is history. Managers overmanage.

Thank you, Dusty Baker.

A crucial series.......

Seems like he has one bad inning almost every game. No stats to back this up. Lynn, too.

Lots of Sox fans will be watching tonight.

Braves just brought up a great prospect from AA, Vaughn Grissom, and he hit a homer first time up. 21 years old, 3 years in minors, Braves thought he was ready. Grissom started season in High A, just like our guy. 11th round pick. I don't think Braves care about service time issue. Why not Colas?

It's gonna get worse next year, boys.

Did not include Lynn, who was a supplemental pick, I believe.
