Thanks for the detective work Scoop.

 

Russell flexing the muscle...

rluzinksi are you male or female?

 

My wife would say I'm a male, and I have no Jerry Spingerish secrets so....

 

Why do you ask?

 

EDIT: My first name is Russell and I like the muscle!

[sheetswannabe]

Is rluzinski a guy or a girl??

Am I reading this right... Branyan is 3 for 3?

[ja002h]

Obie going into his 4th inning...

Triple gets the cycle!

[Kraft4a3]

Does anyone else think Obie has a good chance to make a career in long-middle relief?

 

Last year he would pitch nicely the 1st time through the order, a little worse second time, and 3rd time(if he made it) was brutal.

[sheetswannabe]

rluzinski why is your icon Ashlee Simpson if your a married man?

[rluzinski]

I love it, Yost says 50 AB's will choose are starting 3B and Branyan will force his hand!

I dunno, it's funny? I put it on there after she was "caught" lip syncing.

I think it's a great idea. His splits have always indicated it, and if he needs to bat, that's just fine.

[sheetswannabe]

Oh haha I thought maybe you liked her because that would be kind of funny.

[JohnBriggs12]

That was a pretty nice performance by Obie today. I'm listening to Cubs/Sox and wind is blowing flyballs out of the park in Mesa. Obie by my count induced 6 ground ball outs along with 2 K's with no runs.

 

I'd say he's still in the competition for a rotation spot.

 

I know some of you don't want to hear that.

I think you are referring to his tendancy to be fine once through the lineup then get clobbered. I agree and it probably indicates that he has only 1 serviceable pitch. Just a guess.

[ja002h]

I'd say he's still in the competition for a rotation spot.

I know some of you don't want to hear that.

 

If he decides he wants to pitch more than once or twice through the order, that's fine with me.

[JohnBriggs12]

How many times did he get through the tough Astro order last September??

 

The answer: 4 times unscathed.

So what's your point? Wes Helms hit 2 HR in a game once. He must be an All-Star.

[PepsiFanClubAlum]

Any word on how the picthers, especially Henderickson looked out there today?

[bucksman4]

Ugly WIN for Ben Hendrickson....is anyone else convinced he doesn't have the mental makeup to pitch to big leaguers? I get a sick feeling whenever he pitches....it isn't pretty.

[RyDogg66]

Holy crap. The bullpen didn't give up 7 runs today!

 

Ben's inability to throw strikes at the big league level is worrisome, yes.

[endaround]

Do we have to live with the Obie is fine once through the order myth? It is just not true. His OPS against in innings 1-3 is .771. He turns every one he faces into a corner outfileder. Yes he get worse but he starts off bad too!
