6 runs is more than enough to win a a game. Seriously we need a new pitching coach who can spot flaws in someones delivery and fix it so they dont walk everyone. Luckily for us the Muts and Marlins bailed us out tonight.

Winning tonight would really help my feelings. But we're at home and we need a win, and we have a brittle bitch on the mound, so I'm not crazy about our chances.

They say that Flowers is a better pitch framer, but Kurt is by far a better hitter, and I think he calls a better game. The splits with Newk when being caught by Suzuki vs Flowers is pretty shocking really. Flowers is a backup catcher, and that's how we need to use him.

I would love to see the teams ERA difference between Flowers and Zuk. If its even close Zuks bat gives him the sizable edge IMO.

Of course Ozzie backs it up with a strikeout on a terrible AB.

Folty: Suzuki- 2.69, Flowers- 3.18
Newk: Suzuki- 2.67, Flowers- 5.57
Julio: Suzuki- 3.59, Flowers- 4.40
Anibal: Suzuki- 3.03, Flowers- 3.15

Those are the 4 current members of the rotation that have been here pretty much all year and have enough innings to have a reasonable sample size.

With Those Numbers and the sizable difference in bats...no fucking way Flowers should be the Primary catcher over Suzuki.....but Snit.

Flowers likes to nibble too much. Ive said this and thought this all year.

Kurt's is inflated a bit because of that 8th inning in Chicago when the pitchers couldn't feel their fingers and allowed 9 runs.
