Oh no...
if Geren hit for Murphy, he would play M. Sweeney at 1B, move Hannahan to 2B and play Barton at 3B. [Korach]
I think Murphy's OPS would have to be less than .000 for that to be a good idea

NO 2 OUT WALKS.
What about Barry?
"Barry who?" Forst said, and I felt like I was in the middle of a knock-knock joke.
I'm less pissed losing that 4-0 than 1-0
Not that I want to encourage the bullpen to surrender 3-run HRs, but that would have been really putrid as a 1-0 loss.

Its funny man
its like you can feel it with this team. You can feel when they are going to suck and you can feel when they have a chance at coming back. Tonight just didnt feel like their night.

I agree 100% unless they would have come back.

They really didn't hit the ball all that well
Most of the good defensive plays were on little bloopers—Dellucci caught one that Murphy hit to the wall, and Cabrera made a nice stab to his right. Other than that, it was great plays on badly hit balls.
And I repeat my advice from Sunday about pitching to Thomas—pound the strike zone with fastballs until he proves he can crush them. No reason to nibble with him on reputation. Maybe it’s a slump, or maybe it’s the final downturn of a HOF career, but pitchers ought to put the burden on FT to prove it’s the former, not the latter.
If Hurt stops drawing walks and still isn’t hitting the ball hard, then it’s the end of the line for him.

Does he consistently look "late" on the fastball? I think his timing is definitely off
but I thought he was all over the place- out in front, late, doing the Crosby dive at outside fastballs, etc.

He looks late to me, fouling a lot of pitches off or back
So much of his value right now is in his walks. If I were a pitcher I’d take that away and see if he could hit the ball.

I haven't had an opportunity to watch many games with full attention but that is
a bad sign, if true. Luckily we don’t have much money invested in him.

I love unity but the yellow t-shirts in New Orleans
have made me decide not to watch the game. It’s impossible to block them out of the picture. Oh well… < looks for stupid 2-star movie>
