I am going to ask some dumb baseball questions along the way this season as I am not quite as up to speed as some of you guys.. sorry in advance..Is it just chance that Yu is lining up against Ceej on Friday? Do teams try to match certain pitchers?Just seems too good to be true that on their first trip to Arlington these 2 will be squaring off.
It's just they way things lined up. Might be something more to it since they switched Yu and Harrison in the rotation, but it seems to be just how things worked out.
Still not going against the lefty...
Is it an injury thing or a RW doghouse thing?I have no idea what tOSB means.
Torrealba catches Lewis. Wash explained last night on the radio he is rewarding Snyder with another start in front of his friends and family after the great game he had Monday night. Wash is good about keeping his players engaged and rewarding them when they contribute. He is a players manager. Sometimes maddening as a fan, Especially when it means starting Vlad Guerrero in RF in the world series. But the players love him.
I think at this point he's just protection to ensure people pitch to e
Can we build a roof in time?
Just throw down some bases inside Jerry World. WA LA.
Props to CJ for 93 pitchs today. He showed something there.
Moreland is about as close as you get, maybe Murphy. And this lineup still isn't hitting on all cylinders.
I only saw his first 3 ABs, but it was funny to see him get screwed on calls and not getting good swings, then suddenly he was 1 for 3 with 2 RBI. The RBI line drive looked like terrible contact. Things just didn't seem to be going his way last night and he still drove in 3.
bumpCruz' hot streak is coming soon, right?
While the starters make Bruce Chen look like Sandy Koufax.
Soft tossing lefties is this teams Kryptonite.
I still don't like how those lineups were set for those two games. Rest one guy at a time, don't empty the benches. Yesterday was not as bad, but Monday just ridiculous.'ctdub said:
Ogando continues to quietly dominate. 13 pitches for 1.1 innings with 2 Ks. ERA of 0.45. Nice outing for Koji as well. This bullpen gets me excited for what could be down the road. Colby on the other hand.
I'm too lazy to work this out, but why wasn't the spot start used to cycle Colby through to the back end where he would hit more NL parks? Or was it? Seems he may need a little rest but Perez wasn't quite ready to make a big league appearance.I still don't like how those lineups were set for those two games.

Seems so odd to get guys ready with the intention of prepping for double switches. Whatever.
This is beginning to worry me. I know he is still young, and the "stuff" is suppose to be there, but he is getting his ### handed to him in AAA, and it just seems like he should be here by now.Am I completely delusional about this?I'm too lazy to work this out, but why wasn't the spot start used to cycle Colby through to the back end where he would hit more NL parks?

He's only 21 and already in AAA. I'd be pretty patient with him this year. I honestly didn't see him pitching in the majors at all this year, did you?As far as this year in AAA so far his #s seem to be right in line with his AA splits last year where he performed well, the only big difference being his ERA is up (probably more a result of bad luck) and his K/9 are down (which could be worrying). But again, it's early.This is beginning to worry me.

You are right. There really is no spot for him this year, it just seems like he has been the "top pitching prospect" in the organization for the last 10 years. He was signed when he was 12, right???He's only 21 and already in AAA. I'd be pretty patient with him this year.

Yeah. I was really surprised to see him sit last night. When this guy heats up you ride him till he bucks ya.15 for his last 32 in the past 7 games. I could tell it was coming when he started going the other way with regularity.bumpCruz' hot streak is coming soon, right?
He's now one of three guys to go club level twice in their career. And Josh is not one of them. Any guesses to the other two?Yeah. I was really surprised to see him sit last night.
