Gosh, why would you want to overwork your starting pitcher who gets five days rest when you can overwork your bullpen.
And then if Bobby leaves KK in, you’d ask why he left him in too long

After that 1st inning for KK, you knew he was going to be out early. It going to be difficult to gat that 1st win, if you can’t pitch 5 innings.
Chuck James was Solid until the 6th!!!

Nice use of the bullpen by Bobby once again. And KK who gives up realistically 0 runs, ends up being charged with 4 runs 3 ER. Just bull crap.

osh, why would you want to overwork your starting pitcher who gets five days rest when you can overwork your bullpen.
Venters hasn’t pitched since Tuesday and has thrown 12 innings all year. I think he’ll be okay.

You guys really think it’s over? The Diamondbacks’ bullpen has a 7.37 ERA. A.J. Hinch called them “pathetic” on Saturday.

I was on my way home from work early in the game and it was ridiculous that all Sutton and Goob could muster was to talk nonstop about stupid clothes that the coaching staff bought and wore hom on the flight. I didn’t think they were ever gonna shut up.

Rob from SC, absolutely. When you have a team with a goalie as hot as Halak, a defense that plays so well in their zone and an opportunistic offense like Montreal does, you have a great shot. Not to mention, their best defenseman, Markov, wasn’t even around in the past series. Getting him back is huge for them.

McLouth rivals McCann and Chipper for worst at bats of the night. How do you take a fastball right down the middle, but swing at balls up and in chin-high?
Mr. Enigma
May 14th, 2010
9:31 pm
It’s the middle of May now. I think it’s time to give up on Nate McLouth. .160 playing everyday for 40 games isn’t going to cut it. Once Jordan Schafer is ready for Act 2, tell Pittsburgh they can have him back for nothing. After all, we gave up nothing to get him anyways.
Jerald Holcombe
May 14th, 2010
9:31 pm
That’s just great McOut. Take the 3rd strike right now the middle on a fastball. What kinda dumbass are you? I could care less what Schafer does when he is activated. I just wanna see McOut not in the lineup.

@MFin04 – Bobby is actually doing a decent job this year but his loyalty to TP is costing the team from moving forward. Oh well…. 2011 is going to be a new era and I only pray no Pendleton to screw up the plans.

For those who have given up already, take a look at the D’backs bullpen ERA.
We might not come back, but when I logged in, I expected exactly what I saw. A bunch of losers calling “ballgame” and the real fans still hanging in until the last out.
And what is this sheyt about a protest tomorrow night? Jeez. Those darned D’backs! They should know better than to play their home games in a state that wants the federal laws respected!!!
