Back when they hired Macha as the manager I had a feeling that he would not be a good manager for a this team, he is good manager but I just don't think his personality fits our team. I'm not complaining about all of his decisions on the batting order, etc. My problem with him is that he shows no emotion and I never really see him get on players or get them pumped up. Our team is young and they play better when they play with energy. With weeks I felt we had that energy and emotion, but when he went down we lost that. Until we get that energy back I don't think we will win many games. There have been many games lately that we could have won easily if the players were more energized and had there adrenaline going. I just feel that we need a manager that gets our players fired up, and maybe every now and then argues a call or something to get them energized. To many times I feel he just sits back and lets things happen, and that is not best for our team.

Gerut finally got a hit.

1-11 with RISP

Stetter needs to come in here

I have a bad feeling about Villanueva coming in here

Just wondering, did we have any significant signings out of latin america last year (2008)?

Just a question, Where will Arias and Garcia be playing this year, and will any of the 3 signings from last year be playing in Rookie ball or will they just stay in the DSL?

What about getting rid of fielder and keeping Hart. Our lineup would look like this then. RF Braun, CF Cameron, LF Hart, 3B Hardy, SS Escobar, 2B Weeks/Durham, 1B Gamel , C Kendall/ or maybe Salome.

Anyways I was looking at the Sounds stats the other day and I noticed Joe Bateman. His stats have been amazing ( minus 1 year) for his whole minor league career. I was wondering why we don't call this guy up.
