What is it with these bad teams

We really play bad against them. None of our starting pitchers have really good outings. Their not terrible (Weaver 2 ER, Lackey 3 ER, Saunders 3 ER) but they have been so much better just recently.

Is it truly not interesting enough against a bad team ?

Indians aren't that bad

They’ve had some killer injuries this year

by highlandhalo on Aug 17, 2008 12:26 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

They are pretty bad, still.

Just look at the errors they make. Their pitching (apart from Lee) isn’t supposed to limit us to this couple of runs.

If it sticks

they play in Houston, as with the move to Milwaukee in last year’s Cleveland series in April.

He already gave up 1.

Who’s saying he’s done ?

He’s well on his way to give up 3+

That was MY point.

You were the one telling him to get it together.

by Zu Long on Aug 17, 2008 12:33 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I want him to get it together

But I don’t think he will.

In the end – we both think he’ll give up 3+

He won't be the closer next year, we all know what Sosh thinks of veterans

And I’d prefer that we not destroy him before we need him in the playoffs.

Let’s give the guy some rest

Scioscia's opinion of veterans didn't keep Frankie from taking over at 22.

It won’t keep Dondo from taking over at 24.

I'll put $5 on the table that Arredondo doesn't close a majority of the games next year

He hasn't really gotten much to hit today.

2 walks ain’t bad. He’s been pretty patient.

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Aug 17, 2008 12:41 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I wanted to add that...

But at least he’ll walk pretty often, and get on base somehow.

and that happens how often in relation to how many he flails at?

Less often than the DP's he grounds into ;-)

But often enough to still be one of the best bad ball hitters around.

Where's GA?

It befuddles me that a guy with a 20 game hit streak is sitting on the bench in a 1 run game.

these guys are not robots, people, for all we know he could have a banged up knee or something and needs a day off.

All I know is that Vlad has a much more obvious injury history and is in a terrible slump

…and he’s still playing.

4 years younger than G.A.

is a LOT, and again, roster management takes quite a bit on Soth’s part.

by Rev Halofan on Aug 17, 2008 12:45 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Would Soth jeopardise the streak for a PH appearance

My feeling is he would in the right situation, ie, Quinlan’s or Mathis’ spot

What if GMJ comes back and becomes our post season stud?

What if Rev starts liking the Red Sox?

Just hypothetical, people. Could happen though.
