Seriously, "Ishi" and "Izzy" both starting, together? Ishi hitting in the 2 hole? If Hart is not getting the day off, why on earth is Ishikawa playing 1B and batting 2nd? So, now we have Aoki and Hart playing out of position just so Ishikawa can get a start in?

 

RR is a dweeb.

 

Probably means we score 10 runs tonight...

 

(Yes, I know that both Hart and Aoki are not a stretch in those positions, but damn, we got something good going with Hart at 1B, why in the heck mess with that? I just don't understand, I just don't. No need to complain that we can't start the same line-up day in and day out when the opportunity is there to do it, our manager just seems to think it helps us by running a different line-up out there every single game)

 

Ishikawa hitting 2nd... If it wasn't sad that someone thinks this is a good thing, I'd be laughing right now.

 

"Ishi" hitting 2nd.

 

Where is our new blood SS? Just another waste of a roster spot if he doesn't get to play...

 

RR is a.........nevermind.

[pebadger]

Well, everybody else is going pretty good in the spots they're hitting now. You could move Weeks up, but why change his situation now that he's getting into a groove? So if the choice is between Ishikawa and Izturis in the 2 hole, Ishikawa wins every time. Yes, none of this should matter, but that's just the way baseball does things.

[FVBrewerFan]

Why isnt Yo piching tonight?

[pebadger]

I think RR is working pitching matchups. Estrada v Correia and then Yo versus Burnett tomorrow. I guess when your whole season rests on the next 10 days you do that.

[AZBrewCrew]

Estrada is looking good so far, but its early.

[logan82]

"Hart thinking about 3" well for chistsakes show him then instead of Ramirez lollygaging home.

[AZBrewCrew]

I know this has been discussed to death here but Corey still looks slow on the basepaths. I think its an illusion due to his long legs.

[logan82]

or at the very least show the fielder fielding the ball.

[markedman5]

Corey has really settled into the 5 spot nicely. 2nd in the league in extra base hits is pretty impressive.

[AZBrewCrew]

nice AB "Izzy".

[FVBrewerFan]

Izzy starting makes sense based on the match-up. 6 for 10 hard to argue with. I dont mind Ishy getting a start either, Mormez just hasnt been productive.

[markedman5]

Wow Marco is dealing......

[TooLiveBrew]

My reaction to reading your post (yes, I talked out loud... to myself) --

 

Mormez? Who is... ohhhhh, I get it!

[FVBrewerFan]

Wow 7 ks and he's still getting squeezed by this ump

[markedman5]

Never mind.....

[phnxcrew]

can the one run be put on the ump? Terrible call giving them a run, thanks a lot

[FVBrewerFan]

Rivera must lead mlb in hrs allowed on 0-2 count

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Uggh...what a horrible decision on 0-2.

[rluzinski]

Saying that Hart is playing out of position is pretty crazy. Plenty of players jump back and forth from RF to 1B. Who cares?

 

I probably take Ish over Morgan, if those are the only choices.

[jjgott]

Big K by Estrada there on McCutchen

[endaround]

And I think Aoki's arm has been exposed.

 

Though I have no clue how McGehee's ball got through

[markedman5]

Infield in with the lead run on 2nd in the 6th?

[TURBO]

I do NOT like a one run lead in the 7th while getting into the bullpen...

 

Nice play Ryan...

[markedman5]

This shouldn't take long to blow the lead.....
