I like that Davis gets another start. You know he is sleeping on that error until he gets another chance to redeem himself.

That's a very good point. When a new player makes a catastrophic error like Davis did in his first game, our first reaction is to want him to be sent back down to AAA, or at the very least, put him back on the bench and keep him there unless there is an emergency need for him. Let's hope that you're correct, and that Davis can have (at least) a decent game on defense today, and perhaps make some noise on offense as well. It's a good thing that most managers and GM's are more objective than us fans.

We came back to posting on the same day...huh.

Yeah good decision by Buck. But if he makes another error, take him out back.

Who does Luke Scott have pictures of, seriously?

[Icterus galbula]

This is our first reunion with Ramon Hernandez since the jettison. I hope that we can see him lazily give up a passed ball or two while Wieters puts on a clinic.

I just hope Jaku gives us yet another quality start and our offense gets going! I am ready for some winning baseball :clap3:

7:05 or 7:35 game start time??

[LA2]

Look at our lineup tonight, even w/o BRob, and imagine it hitting at even just 70% of its ability. That wd still be quite potent.... Uh, OK, maybe 80%.

[OFFNY]

9 pitches, 3 outs.

[JohnD]

I like the Davis start, as well. It's encouraging. I've been pretty disappointed in Buck lately, mostly because of wins and losses, but that's a move I'm not sure other managers in recent years would make. Hopefully he goes out there and clobbers a couple of doubles, too.

[Hank Scorpio]

Thorne and his ADD...

[alaniee]

Missed the top half but I am here now. Beautiful baseball weather!

[alaniee]

2 straight 3-2 counts. We've been working pitchers really well lately. Hopefully it starts getting us wins..

[OFFNY]

2 batters, 14 pitches, and a walk. Don't swing at the first pitch here and hit into a double play, Adam.
