Nice to see Ozzie use a lot of the young guys tonight. McCarthy could do himself a big favor if he pitches well tonight. BTW...Chris Stewart better not be our back-up catcher next year.

Gload rules btw.

He remains the most overrated defensive first baseman I've ever seen though.

Gload sucks btw.

This will be your fault.

 

Yes, that's right, you get blame for Inglett striking out. Congrats.

Haha....he can't even steal against Victor Martinez now.

Excellent...Podsednik's SB %age goes down even more.

 

22 caught stealings for Martinez this year...in 118 attempts. That's about 18%.

I laugh my ass off when people suggest he'll actually bring us back a significant player if we trade him.

 

Congrats to Owens!

Congrats Jerry! Get that kid the ball! And show Podsednik how a base is actually stolen!

You can never underestimate the foolishness of some GM's. I mean, he's a former all star, he's still got 40 steals after going for 60 the year before, he was traded for Carlos Lee, he's got a ring...he at least has a decent resume if you havne't scouted him that well.

 

Give that kid the bag!

Cancel the postgame show.

 

Stewart throws out Sizemore. Sweetness

For those watching the game...

 

Does McCarthy look like he did last September?

I've seen 2 innings of BMac and he looks very good.

1 hit in 4 innings, 5 k's? I don't know if he looks like it, but the numbers do.

better. His change up looks ridiculous.

Yeah he would have been of no use when our rotation looked like crap. sarcasm>

Another note: Stewart looks better than every back up catcher we have brought in this year.

How about the other pitches? Is his curve the small, sharp one or is it the bigger sweeping one today?

 

Have you been able to pick out the 2 seamer? The radio guys have said he's thrown it

 

Fathom, remember all those times you complained about the bottom of our batting order with Anderson and a backup catcher down there?

 

Rob Mackowiak and his .160 average in Sept.

Chris Stewart

Scott Podsednik.

2 seamer inside to lefties and jamming righties looks like the pitch tonight. The curve is starting in the middle of the zone and dropping off, he hasnt thrown the big sweeper quite yet. Stew is working both sides of the plate nicely.

He's also doing a superb job of spotting his fastball. Stewart is calling for pitches up, down, in and out, and McCarthy is hitting his spot almost every time. Very nice to see.

Well, it'd be nice to know that he's still got the sweeper in his arsenal...i've barely seen that this year, because he's never gotten the touch with it out of the bullpen. Good to hear that the 2 seamer is working nicely.

 

So safe to Mac really might be a "starter?"

 

1st time I have sat down to watch a game in a while, happy I did.

I hope to God this teaches people something about how good Mac can be. It's rapidly ending my worries about him.

Am I the only one wondering what could have been had he started all season?

70 pitches for McCarthy through 4.2, supposedly he's on a pitch count tonight and Haeger's backing him up...i wouldn't be surprised if this is his last inning. It'd be nice to get him a win too.

 

Struck out the strucking side

 

8 k's, 5 innings.

 

BMac > you. Again.

Edited September 28, 200619 yr by Balta1701

8 Ks.

 

But he's not Cy f***ing Young, people!

5 innings, 1 hit, 8 strikeouts. Nice job Brandon. Like Stewart as well.
