July 29 - KC vs Tillman & the O's

[El Gordo]

Another shocking AB from Huff. I'd feel sorry for him but some folks tell me he doesn't care.

He needs to be moved back in the order if you're going to insist on starting him. He is killing us in the #4 spot.

Your steadfast faith and optimism has been rewarded...

This team has broke my heart too many times. I'm happy now.

Yeah I agree.

[Morgan423]

Wiggy is just looking more comfortable at the plate lately, everything from approach to poise & posture. Good to see.:clap3:

[Mooreisbetter27]

THAT was a strike?

How come there is so many bad umpires? Jeez.

Anyone know what they get paid?

[ledzepp8]

And Wiggy looks ridiculous.

[Why Not?]

Yep, we traded Werth to the Jays for Bale in 2002...

Then we turned Bale into Gary Matthews.

[The Rick]

It's DT's typical case of relentlessly trusting his talent. There comes a time though when you just need to make the change. This is the downside of him being such a players manager. But it is a double edged sword, you don't want to hurt the chemistry (although that's more of a hypothetical with this team, it appears, but really I have no idea). But he moved Mora down, I think he'll move Huff down soon enough.

Lou Piniella wouldn't have taken this long though. Interesting that since he's moved Soriano to 6th he's been on a tear.

[catjuggler]

I know it started later but this is a slow moving game.

[isestrex]

Then we turned Bale into Gary Matthews.

But we moved him to make room for Bigbie and Matos

[O-The-Memories]

What are the chances Pie starts tomorrow?

I'd like to see Reimold DH, Pie in left. I can't imagine they'll give Jones a day off after a night like that.

[Mooreisbetter27]

Putting Reimold at 4 and Huff at 5 just makes too much sense to DT.

Then you have switch hitter, righty, lefty, righty, lefty. You could even move Wieters up to 6 if you wanna keep that consistency... put Scott at 7 Mora at 8. That was you're flip flopping every batter.

But yeah, god forbid Huff not bat 4th. C'mon DT. He's just not hitting!

[Morgan423]

Seriously KC, can you please DH Teahan? He's killing us in the field this series regardless of where they play him. :eektf:

[isestrex]

Can Pigpen control it tonight?

Lou would never have taken a job managing this team. He's no fool.
