Hate to say a must win game
but since the Brewers have already won…it would be really key to win this one so we don’t get too far back. I really hope we are still within 2 games of the Brewers when they come to town next week.!

I think any loss hurts
Obviously we aren’t going to go 33-0 the rest of the way, but we can’t keep dropping games we should win.

Waino
Do you expect him to go 7 or 8 and if so what do we do when he is back on the DL?
by llabyellov on Aug 20, 2008 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Ifin they're already planning to piggyback him
I can’t imagine he’d go more than four, maybe five max.

Huh?
He was DL’d with a strained tendon in his finger. It’s healed. He’s in good shape. Why would you expect he’ll get hurt from pitching?

Strongest middle finger

Middle finger
Yes strongest MF in St. Louis but when you have not pitched for what 8-12 weeks there is a certain amount of time to build up to being game ready. Waino is not there. See Carpenter! But lets throw our season down the drain and pitch him 9 like all you all guys want.
by llabyellov on Aug 20, 2008 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's pitched three rehabs
He kept in shape during his time off.
He’s also on a 70 pitch limit, so don’t sweat it.
by liam on Aug 20, 2008 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Shape
Pitching shape and staying in shape are two different beasts. He should be on a 70 pitch limit. I’m just pointing out the fact yes we need a tandem friday night. Do you want the bullpen you guys keep bashing to pitch? You can’t have it both ways.
by llabyellov on Aug 20, 2008 8:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Why so defensive?
So a few people made jokes that Wain should throw 9 with Pineiro doing the post-game interview.
Lighten up, Francis.

the way i took it
Tony is trying to protect Pinata’s feelings because he kept saying, “this is a one time thing. Adam’s starting Friday. that doesn’t mean he’s back in the rotation full time. all this means is he’s starting Friday.”
so why after Pinata’s been in his & Dave’s dog house most of the season, why would be now care about his feelings? why the bullshit?
