MLB Random Thoughts - Week 7 [5/14 - 5/20]

:woah:

[Woy]

Gotta get back on track by sweeping the Cubs.

[Slateman]

So ... Davey Johnson is going to stick with Henry Rodriguez. Just a "bump in the road"

[Warner2BruceTD]

I would stick with him, too. Storen & Lidge are hurt, and he throws 100 mph. Nobody was calling for his head the night before when he struck out the side on 10 pitches. Overall, I think he's been good.

I agree, but I think Davey needs to have someone in the pen, ready to come in. When he's on, he's on. But when he's off, it's pretty obvious from the first batter.

They also need to put some sort of high res camera on HRod when his curve is on and compare it to when his curve is off. There has to be a reason why some nights it's dangerous and other nights he bounces it 10 feet in front of the plate. Kind of reminds me of Armando Benetiz. Just don't know whether Good Henry or Bad Henry is going to show up until the first batter.

I think when he bouncing that breaking ball like yesterday, he needs to just throw the heat. He throws so hard, that even if good hitters know that it's coming, it's still hard to hit. Sometimes these pitchers out think themselves. You can bring it at triple digits, why are you fucking around with an ineffective curve ball?

[Woy]

I hate Jake Westbrook.

[Rudi]

Bryce Harper gets his first career dinger.

[Rudi]

I fucking hate Dusty Baker. With a fucking passion. You have got to be fucking kidding me. 2 on 1 out in the top of the 7th in a 1-1 game, Homer Bailey comes up to the plate [keep in mind Bailey is at 100 pitches] AND HE DOESNT FUCKING PINCH HIT. AND BAILEY FUCKS UP THE BUNT AND THE LEAD RUNNER IS CUT DOWN AT THIRD. i GUARANTEE bailey gets rocked bottom of this inning too.

more rage to come, stay tuned

[KnightNoles]

Bailey with a 1-2-3 7th...

[KnightNoles]

well almost, the box score fooled me...

:-|

[Rudi]

There was no chance Bailey gets thru the 7th coming into the inning at 100 pitches. Any sort of trouble and hes getting pulled, plus he got bailed out by Hinske swinging on a 3-0 pitch and almost grounding into a DP.

[KnightNoles]

agreed

and Hinske swinging at a 3-0

[KnightNoles]

Good Ol Henry again...
