CY Brazelton K's AJ

Ok...I'll be positive

 

Jermaine Dye's average is now low enough where an out only brings it down 1 point!!!!!!

 

fine...guess not

El Duque better throw a shut out there after the terrible line up provided by Ozzie here

Thanks for the PBP, SS2k and ss71.

 

It's appreciated -- f***in school...

AJ goes down on a pitch that bounced in the RH batters box.

Uribe needs to take a pitch here and there.

Uribe first pitch swinging... FO to CF, two down.

I knew it was going to be the crazy Jerry Manuel Sunday lineup.

Ok next time someone swings at a pitch that bad, since most of us cant actually watch the game, lie to me!!

Thats a classic corpseball moment.

 

Warning track shots, striking out on pitches in the dirt, GIDP, weak pop outs

No doubt, the lynch mob has made an early appearence. 

I should go back and count the optimistic posts since the first pitch.

Crede flies to LC to end the Top of the 2nd. After an inning and a half of play, nada.

Every single player seems to be swinging out of their ass. Greg Walker has to be held responsible for the s*** that's happening with a lot of our hitters. Simply a terrible approach by way too many players.

As someone said earlier, the optimism was thrown out the window when we saw what our lineup was today.

What happened to manufacturing runs, grinding it out, hitting behind runners, taking advantage of speed? You are correct, those are the kinds of outs that frustrate the hell out me. First pitch swinging pop outs, GIDP, etc...

Should Walker even be coaching this kind of team? Can he? I think that guy only knows how to teach someone to swing for the fences.

You mean like getting walks and stealing bases?

Why? This lineup can't win? Why watch? Why are you reading the play by play here if you already know the outcome?

Zing!

Not when it's followed by consecutive pop-ups.

The question I have is that Dye was a late replacement for Everett in the DH spot. Why not let Widger DH today? He's been one of our best hitters lately. I know Ozzie has gone with some stupid lineups in the 3rd game of the series this year, but that was when we had won the first two games of the series. Getting swept by Tampa wouldn't exactly be good for this team's psyche.

HE GAWN! Huff goes down on a ball in the dirt and inside... one down

Walks are fine and so are stolen bases, but someone has to bring them home .... guys in, oh, I don't know, the 3-4-5 spots. Your RBI guys. Just bring someone home.

It's like a terrible train wreck mreye. You know this is a disaster that needs a miracle but you still watch &

Of course this lineup can win....but it's a case of a manager having absolutely no clue how to adjust a lineup when he doesn't have regulars in the game. Under no circumstance should Timo Perez ever be leading off or batting 5th. I don't care if he hits 4 homers today, that's not a good managerial decision.
