Greinke, Kemp, and Scully are awesome. Quentin is trash. I hope he gets suspended 10+ games for this. I still can't stop laughing at Scully repeating what Kemp was saying as, "that's fertilizer".
Here's my favorite part. RRR, “We’ll just keep doing the same thing and hopefully we’ll have him where we can use him just clean innings in the sixth or the seventh inning, somewhere in there. Once in a while, it may be the eighth, depending on what happens with the game.”
Axford needs to go to AAA at this point. Mainly to prevent RRR from putting him into pressure situations and losing games. Apparently he isn't smart enough to avoid doing that himself.
I don't get it either. I laughed when I saw him in the lineup. I thought the whole reason Lalli was recalled was to make way for Maldonado to play 1B the majority of the time. Guess not. That's RRR I guess. Can never predict what he'll do.
Well, leave it to Roenicke to start Yuni at 1B tonight after calling up Lalli specifically so Maldonado could play more 1B. Looks like it may be Maldonado and Yuni splitting time then, and Lalli just riding the bench. At least he's hitting him 8th, so he's got that part right.
If you think Doug just assumes Morris is playing bad and doesn't look at stats, follow games, and get good information from scouts then you're crazy. He knows his minor league players, but keep in mind that he isn't the only one with a say in roster moves. Roenicke has some say too and has seen these guys play up close in spring training, and all moves aren't based on just numbers, especially when it comes to young players like Morris. Not calling him up wasn't based on how he performed in one week in AAA.
