Damn Sweeney at least is getting good wood. I don't think he's even K'd yet.

He sat back on the curveball nicely there, just didn't get enough good wood on it.

I'm going out on a huge limb saying Molina WILL get on base.

What is Molina's career Minor League BA?

Molina gets on base...

 

With a walk.

Here comes some Micro Managing here.

 

Danks has plenty left in the tank. Why do this.

 

No reason to let the young kid who's getting squeezed go even deeper into the game. You don't want to overpitch your youngsters.

Damn I was hoping Darin would foul tip the ball alittle harder than that against the ump.

First time Molina has actually been on base?

Yea it also gives me other scores on demand , league leaders in batting, pitching, stolen bases, k's ERA, BA, RBI's, HR's, OBP and standings.

A.K.A. Liriano.

To me the lesson of him dealing with guys on in a game situation is more valuable than getting MMAc some work. He wasnt overpitched.

it's kinda sad when Erstad has the highest average in the lineup followed by Sweeney with fewer at bats.

What a grinder that Erstad is.

Which bullpen is going to show up tonight?

A.K.A. Liriano.

 

I dont know that Liriano was overpitched. He started in the bullpen, and they moved him to starter, he probably didnt have many innings on his arm when he went down. IIRC, his injury was due more to his pitching motion(ie. a loop in his delivery) that put a lot of stress on his elbow.

Liriana was handled with kid gloves. They put him in the bullpen to start 2006 despite his readiness to dominate at the beginning of last season. Liriano had some injuries with the Giants, IIRC, and I thought I recall reading that his motion wasn't particularly 'clean'.

He's pitched with runners on before.

Just got in. I have no idea how we scored, but I assume we we're grinding to get 6 tonight.

 

DANKS~!

I guess it wasn't really "overpitching" but more of pitching when he shouldn't have. He was on the DL, came off, and pitched almost immediately after he came off. And hurt himself, bad, obviously. I think they should have shut him down until atleast September. Just my opinion.

Ha, similar post.

That's whats been most impressive so far about Danks, he doesnt seem to let runs bother him. He comes right back out the next inning and shuts the opposition down.

He should have been shut down for good, his elbow was done when he went down.

MMac looks much, much better.

Ha, similar post.

 

Yeah, you beat me to the punch.

MMac's ERA under 5.00!!!!!
