Ozzie for Manager

That's good. Canning making his debut. Had a few rehab starts and only 1 where he went past 3.1 innings. He hasn't faced major league hitters since mid year last year. I feel like the Padres will be quick to go to their bullpen. It's a solid pen but this game is winnable if Kay can give us 5 innings of 2 run ball.

Got to Get him out

People trashedHudson but he is getting it done

Really wish Burke was given another inning

He was on my fantasy team way back in the day. Guy was a magician with the small ball. And then he would steal 2nd.

I just posted the same thing at the same time

Nice work peters. Or should I say Brett butler

Need this 4th run

So if you are in the hunt at the deadline do you trade a fringe prospect (20-25 ranked) for a veteran starter who is somewhat decent if Kay or fedde are not getting it done. I say yes. They owe it to make some effort to go for it.

You have 3 good starters you should be able to count on. Fedde had been good but it won't last. Would love to build up Hagen to 5-6 innings and get him up mid year. Especially if you are still in the race

Burke is cruising. Stuff is nasty. 88 pitches. Let him go another inning. Then Taylor and Dominguez.

This is the type of game I knew we would lose every time the last 2 years. This year I think we win tonight

Beckham says Beni provides a quality AB leading off. That's why he is there. Beni then Ks on 3 pitches with a check swing on a ball above his head. I literally LOL"d

The fact that he got crap for Southside Samurai proves how ridiculous people in the US have become. We lost our sense of humor. It's a great nickname. Anyone offended us a F-in moron. Samurai is a brave warrior in his country. It's a damn compliment. Next thing people will complain it promotes violence. I can't wait to retire to actually say whatever I want without fear of morons who would try to get me fired

I watch the post-game a lot down here in NC and I am pretty sure he had about 6 tequila or cervezas. He was overly happy and slurring a bit. Normally he talks much faster and crisp. He is still entertaining and I love him.

I think Ozzie had a few drinks during the game. He is even tougher than usual to understand in the post-game. I need subtitles.

Can we use it as an excuse to fire him with cause

Chris Getz is basically Smithers in the Simpsons and Reinsdorf is Montgomery Burns.

Not the strongest outfield in AAA. Oh, that's our MLB outfield.

Some good news on Gonzales. Maybe we get a bench player or of him with a little pop. Bonemer might Jane to be promoted. You want him to develop and he had got to be challenged to develop. Doing him a disservice at that level

I hear what you are saying. But it isn't helping pitchers stay healthy. Instead of throwing 95-97 every pitch just ease off and learn how to pitch. Throw where you are comfortable and hit your spots with more movement Maximum velocity isn't everything. Crochet sis at 96 instead of 100 like he used to throw as a RP. It's his comfort zone and he isn't hot now. Maybe a guy like Hicks should slow down and gain some control.

If he can't handle it on his early 20s. Good luck with it over the next 6 years. Everyone was so scared about crochet and I said we needed to cut him loose and let him start. Some guys will become very durable and resilient pitching once every 5 days. You won't know until you try. Guys were living way more back in the day. 4 man rotations. Too many teams are scared tito let guys throw. You can't pitch 7 innings consistently unless you are allowed to let your arm build up to it. If guys are taken out before 6 innings every start then when they are doing well and they try to go 7 and 8 they can't hack it because it's an anomaly. Good durable pitchers have themselves ready to pitch 110 pitches per game. Smith is throwing like 3 innings in year 3. Maybe in 2 years he can qualify for a decision

He was laying in a dumpster and Getz figured he was cheap and signed him

If we keep up the improvement we should win 100 games in 7 years

So a 6.75 ERA is good for a high leverage reliever right?
