Meanwhile, I have what may be the first complaint about Hyde.

He has 16 pitchers. He know that his last minute starter is terrible. AND YET. He was not prepared for a bad third inning, even while the third inning was going, on he wasn’t prepared for it.
He should’ve anticipated needing to make a change after the third inning, or during the third inning.

He made the change after the inning.

It's hard to criticize a manager for not yanking a starter in the 3rd, especially since he didn't give up any hits in the first two innings.

Only 59 more of these after tonight..

Tommy, we hardly knew ye. Not that I’m complaining....

No mercy! I want a 53 HR season and an OPS at least .850!

I want Charlize Theron or Diane Kruger...

Damn.  Davis hit a bullet though, that's a good sign.  And his first groundout was hit pretty hard, too.

Something to be said for hard contact.

As opposed to the zero contact of last year... definitely.

And if we ever experiment with Milone as an opener again... please don't ever let any hitter see him twice.  That was ugly.

Yup. With all the new rule changes for the abbreviated season you’d think they could get in a trial run of the electronic zone.

The umpires union would never allow it. Why do court rooms still use stenographers?

It’s not because they need them.

Or, probably had anyone up. But I agree with the OP, he shoulda known. Milone sucks.

Actually, It is very easy to criticize a manager who knows his starter is terrible, who knows he has 16 guys on his pitching staff, and who knows he’s going to be pulling him soon anyway.

I'm sure the stenographers union is a mighty force to be reckoned with.

Carroll throws very hard.

Sadly, he reminds me of Mike Wright, except not as portly.

[scOtt]

Nice change from 86 to 99.

They must be...or the judicial system is a slave to tradition.

They can make the Court Record read anything they want!

This dude can't get down in the zone.

Back to back walks, here we go...
