I see he's got his personal catcher going today. Worm these worming worms...

6-3 good guys.

Gotta figure that odd delay hurts the defense...

And immediate evidence of that.

 

[calsnowskier]

That delay really messed with Cueto. Really weird how SPs are absolute slaves to their routine.

Longo being Longo with runners on 1st and 3rd... We'll get 'em though...

How interesting that Kapler sits Dickerson two days in a row and Belt today but won't give a day off to a slumping Solano.

I remember reading a story about Van Halen, and their insistence that there be a bowl or M&M's inn the dressing room, but with no brown ones. At the time, this was perceived as rock stars being nothing but spoiled divas. However, this requirement was in the midst of a contract with about 200 requirements. It turned out that this was the band's way of determining how closely the set up crew had read the directions. If there were brown M&M's, that indicated that other stuff may have been missed as well. What does this have to do with Cal's post?

It may be the whole lefty-righty thing, dontchathink?

At some point, hard rules about lefties and righties need to become flexible when guys are hot and when guys are stone cold. Dickerson's BA has gone up almost 100 points in a week while Solano's BA has dropped about 80 points in about 3 weeks. I doubt platoon advantages are going to do much to mitigate either one.

By the way, nice to see a Tromp thump today.

And, of course, Solano is 2 for 2 today. What do I know?

I sense some pending poopy from the tzill portion of the universe.

Any other lineup advice?

 

[Shaggy]

See what I mean. The first win was a fluke.

Prescient call there, Shaggy.

What's the temp in AZ today?

 

[LHG]

Any other lineup advice?

Hmm, who else needs to get a kick start in their bat?

My condolences to your team. That lineup has some room for improvement.

On a positive note, thanks for taking on Vogt and Bumgarner!

They had Sterling Marte but decides to trade him off. Vogt has done little on offense. Bum seemed better the last game, just offensively l, the team didnt help him out.
