Maybe if Hall hadn't try to steal, Wes wouldn't have hit that dong. Francis might have pitched a different pitch, Helms might have had a different approach, etc. The possiblities are endless.
The way I see it is that, you already know that Davis is pitching well, but you don't know how you're bullpen is going to pitch coming off the all-star break. Might as well go with a surer thing for as long as you can. In other news, FATTY JENKINS WITH THE HR!
I would've kept him in like Ned. He has deceivingly pitched a good game and could go another one like you said. On a related note, any know about Washington's bullpen? Do they deal?
Okay, Santos has been a little shaky but has still only given up two runs. We need some offense! I think we've gotten a hit early in every inning but haven't move the runners around. PS - Great play, Jenks. Good catch and tag, Moeller. Bad throw on the bunt, though.
Paddled, you're just gonna hafta take one for the team. Looks like its Hamm's for you till Oct. . .maybe longer if you're a Packer fan. Luckily for me, I was drinking Great Lakes Brewery Burning River Pale Ale. I could keep that up.
Oh yeah. We struck out the streak. That's always sweet. A beautiful game, really. A complete game for Count Vicula, a Spivey HR(with no K's), a big game for Cirillo, Lee goes 2-4, Hardy gets an RBI single, no errors. . .152-10, baby!
UECKER TALKED A LITTLE ABOUT HOW MUCH MILLER HAD TO RUN ON THE BASE PATHS LAST INNING AND THAT HE'D BE TIRED. THAT'S JUST WHAT UKE WAS SAYING. MAYBE YOST IS JUST TRYING TO MAKE MOELLER FEEL GOOD.
I've always liked Matheny. I remember once with the Brewers he was hit in the catcher's mask with a foul ball and a piece of his mask broke and cut him really bad in the cheek, but stayed and played the entire game.
Ned definately should let him try. I think he will. He's letting him bat now. I think complete games can rev up an entire team. The determination and strive for total excellence serve as a powerful example for the other players.
