4/26 GDT Champs at PIT

[tzill]

Raining in Pittsburgh earlier, 60% chance of rain tonight, but it's not cold (70 degrees currently). The guys took BP early to be sure they got it in. Lineup:

CF Rowand
2B Sanchez
1B Huff
C Posey
3B Sandoval
LF Burrell
RF Ross
SS Tejada
P Cain

Our best lineup, here's hoping we can SCORE SOME FUCKING RUNS. Cain should be on, I would think.

Also, Bum announced for tomorrow and Vogey for Thursday.

Is it time to move Panda up in the order even further? Or is it better to keep him in relatively stress-free slots and bank the performance?

I'd flip him and Huff IMO, or have it be Posey-Sandoval-Huff.

And about the stress, Pablo batted 3rd or 4th virtually every game in 2009 and most of April/May last year. It's not like he's never done it.

Cain is dealing, just one mistake and it cost him.

He is also getting Cained by the offense.

Hitting like little sissy bitches, they are.

 

[SFGRTB]

I am really getting tired of Tejada right about now. If he ain't gonna hit or field, whats the use? J.J. Hardy sounds nice right about now (except thats he's on the DL).

 

[gp956]

Can we just DFA Ross now, please?

 

[gp956]

Tejada is NOT going to come through here...

 

[SFGRTB]

Wow, whats new?

Cain gets totally Cained today. 6 innings 4 hits 2 Runs 6 strikeouts 1 walk. And he's gonna get a No Decision or a Loss.

Poor kid.

Those at bats kill me. When the hitter should probably bunt, but doesn't and then has a non-productive out.

It's gonna make me look like this one day

Has a player who was used primarily as a pinch runner ever won the league MVP?

 

[SFGRTB]

Ford is really fast.

 

[calsnowskier]

Would we prefer to have Nate at 3rd with 1 out or ford?

I think Ford planned that out...

 

[calsnowskier]

WOW

That kid is impressive

 

[SFGRTB]

Speed kills.

 

[sfsportsfan]

beautiful

He's got my vote.

 

[msgkings322]

I hate to say it but what Ford is doing tonight is exactly what TitoMac used to always be ranting about.

 

[SFGRTB]

Would we prefer to have Nate at 3rd with 1 out or ford?

I think Ford planned that out...

It worked better in the end!

 

[calsnowskier]

Ford will never be a star, but he will have a decent MLB career...
