Morel might be benched for two games because the two starters we've faced (especially Masterson) are notoriously tough on righties.

 

It might also have something to do with him not drawing a walk yet.

Yes, these starters are tough on righties. Morel has hit righties better than lefties this season. Dallas McPherson has done jack squat to earn starting playing time, while Brent Morel has actually been hitting this month. Dallas McPherson isn't going to be with this team long term, and he has no business starting 2 games in a row when there's a developmental candidate who wowed us on defense 2 days ago sitting on the bench.

 

One game? Fine. And I wouldn't be mad if McPherson had earned it by performing yesterday. He didn't. That notoriously tough on righties starter killed him yesterday.

Morel not starting is pretty ridiculous. I would make a joke that Morel is white and therefor Ozzie is prone to bench him, but McPherson is white too. I'm confused.

 

But at least, when Morel gets back into the games, his defense rhythm will be off, and he'll strike out 4 times....

Being white has nothing to do w/ it. Kotsay was his baby last year, and he was white, while Andruw Jones was outperforming him majorly, and still got less playing time, and Jones is NOT white.

Pretty sure that was a joke.

I saw "Juan Pierre out" and I thought he was out for the game. Then I read the rest. :crying

You are right. I completely skimmed over where he blatantly said "joke".

Daryl Boston now hitting fungoes to no one. Juan Pierre not available?

 

lol

Great.

 

Come on, didn't we get 5 hits with McPhearson in there yesterday? Why change?

I agree. He was a huge spark for our offense. Why would you guys want to mess with that right now?

You wonder why we can't develop s*** for position players from the minors. This is the same crap he has done for years. Play good, get rewarded with a nice crisp benching. Play bad, and you will rot out there until you take it into the field so we can demote you. Yet his Marlins BFF gets to suck out in LF and gets starts. Its time to get a new manager.

Oh screw walks already. Morel should be playing. Period.

Good news....

Hafner, Cabrera out, Buck too? Lotsa Wahoos in the M*A*S*H unit tonight. Could aid a Gavin bounce-back game.

We're 7-3 in our last 10. Just sayin

 

8-3 in their last 11.

Pronk! Pronkness! The Pronkster!!! GFY you HGH-using, Vin Diesel-lookin has been.

Protecting Morel from tough pitchers. Showcasing McPhearson so we can trade for a new leadoff hitter.

What was the reason for skipping over Humber to give him another day of rest?

Showcasing. LOL

 

If anyone for any reason really wanted Dallas, they just have to wait until he is sent back down and just grab him off waivers.

Huh? Showcasing McPherson? Who's gonna trade for him?

Maybe Ozzie thinks he is a rookie.

I hope Alexei is ok. Comical he was bunting in the first inning against this offense.
