Seaweed gets another day off; still under Duffed in the lineup.

4-1 good guys.

I am "OK" with sHits playing over Duff. Not because I agree that he offers a better chance to win TODAY, but because I understand what Boch is doing. He is giving sHits the rope to either climb out of the hole or make a noose. It will be his doing, not the team's lack of giving him a chance.

Further, Evans himself stated that the team is concerned with playing Duffy too much because of his body type. They fear that he will not be able to maintain effectiveness due to fatigue. He needs to bulk up before he can handle playing every day.

That said...

WHY THE FUCK IS SHITS STILL IN THE LINEUP?!?!?!?!

Baggarly is reporting that Pence is on his way to Cincinnati and will be activated for tomorrows game.

I saw that...

So the big question is, who will the 25-man casualty be? I think Susac gets sent to Sacto to get more PT or Hactor gets DFA'd. I think that if they were able to trade Hactor, they would have by now, so I think Hactor will be the casualty.

Pence joining Giants in Cincinnati, expected active Saturday | CSN Bay Area

Pavlovic expects Hactor to get sent down. But Hactor does not have any options, so it will not be that simple.

Again, you get to claim prescience when you always make the same prediction.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Reds HR 3-1

Hey the man was due.

ATT is equally as extreme, I will grant.

But I prefer pitchers parks to hitters parks. If a pitcher is getting shelled, he will still get shelled in a pitchers park.

If a pitcher is "on", he could still get shelled in a band-box...

 

[calsnowskier]

Hey the man was due.

"due" is the biggest farce in sports.

Belt has looked HORRIBLE. If you are horrible, you are not "due". If you are destroying the ball, but they all finding gloves, that I can agree. But he has been K'ing at a disgusting rate. That is on him. He has not just been getting unlucky.

Good thing he didn't predict a second HR from Duane Kuiper.

 

[Band of Brothers]

Due..law of averages

Way over due

But he was due...
