that makes sense

if you bring in two to three more regulars the number of personalities increases and therefore opinions are differ and are more often voiced.

New thread, 2 out?

This can't be good no matter what. Either they're going to

1.) End the inning

2.) They're going to score, and we're going to have to make a new thread every time there are 2 outs and we need some runs.

micah needs a quick inning

get him to throw into the eighth would be big for the bullpen. They could use the two day rest

I like how, according to Gameday, there's only a 6 mph difference between Micah's fastball and changeup.

90+ for Micah now.

Certainly no chance of stretching him through 8.

Good time for a double play though. You'll have about ten years to make the turn with Andruw lumbering over to second.

by Azreous on Apr 9, 2008 6:03 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Defense pretty much spot on today, as usual. Micah safely through seven, six more outs to go.

by Azreous on Apr 9, 2008 6:06 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yeah

Big plus for our bullpen.

Pretty good outing for Kuroda,

considering the way our bats have been onfire lately; but after the first time through the order, we got something like 9 hits, 2 BBs and 1 HBP. Let's see how we do against him NEXT time.

Is that what Hudson is asking for? 60M over 4 years?

by Huxtable Reunion on Apr 9, 2008 6:07 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

All rumors

But he is said to be seeking "Chase Utley money" in Chase's free agent years, which is about $15M per. Not sure where the 4 years came from, but it was in the paper today (Tribune)

by Craig from Az on Apr 9, 2008 6:08 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Then, no, Hudson's not quite worth Utley money. But he's not all that far behind. 50M for 4 years is what I've got in mind.

by Huxtable Reunion on Apr 9, 2008 6:09 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

That sounds eminently reasonable.

Speculation on Dbacksbullpen

Letting O-Dawg go (can't affort him). Moving Upton or Reynolds to second base (OUCH!). Open up a spot for Tracy. Spend the money on a pitcher to replace Big Unit.

by Craig from Az on Apr 9, 2008 6:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

You speculate like you're drunk. Reynolds/Upton at first..... never.

Looks like one hell of a game, each team has had the lead twice now. Good outing by Micah to go seven, just what we needed. Qualls and Lyon for the last two, or do we throw him out there again for the eighth?

by seton hall snake pit on Apr 9, 2008 6:18 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yep

Gotta either demote him or pitch him. I give him one more shot

by Craig from Az on Apr 9, 2008 6:20 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think it's premature to demote. He's not the only closer to have it tough at the outset. See Hoffman, Gagne. Yes, those two have more experience, but Lyon has the most experience of any of our closer candidates.

by Huxtable Reunion on Apr 9, 2008 6:22 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

agreed

that he should get a shot today to close, but agree its premature to demote

I'm still here.

I'm @ work though, so I'm coming and going.

School is going pretty well.

Maybe today.

Maybe tomorrow. There's no official word on Lyon's status as closer, so I'd presume he'd be pitching the ninth if we still had a lead. But his leash could be very short.

true

i dont know why they just didnt go wit tony pena from the start....hes a beastt

Pena wasn't good in save situations last year,

while Lyon was a great closer for us until he got injured last year.

I bet Pena pitches the 9th, hopefully still with a lead.

by TwinnerA on Apr 9, 2008 6:22 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No Pena Today

I'm guessing. Lyon will pitch the ninth. BoMel is a player's coach.

by Craig from Az on Apr 9, 2008 6:23 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed.

I think if there was any hesitation, it was removed when he had to waste Peña for 1/3 inning yesterday.

Cruz was fine. Should have let him finish
