Tony apparently accidentally subbed out

the wrong guy (left Ankiel in, took out Ludwick).

So, now Ludwick has to come out and Ankiel is coming out of the clubhouse to get back in the game and play CF.

maybe they should've called up an OF who can actually play the OF

if nothing else, it gives you a defensive replacement in times just like this

I don't mean that

I mean for late innings or extra innings

It’s not like we’ve got a surplus of great or even average outfield gloves on the bench

Stavinoah isn’t that great with the glove
Mather is hurt
Lopez…do I have to say it?
Ankiel is hurt even though he continues to make outs, err, play

You’ve blamed the offense, rotation and bullpen. I feel as if you are forgetting 1 man.

Well, not really

against the D’Backs the other day Motte went up the ladder, and struck the batter out. I agree that he should have done that tonight. Don’t know if it wasn’t called, he tried but didn’t get it up enough, or what. But against AZ he did throw high heat (and was effective with it).

What is that a picture of?

In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.

now i see it. Wow. isn’t it funny how something can look totally foreign to you until you actually know what it is?

San Diego hits into a double play

They’ve left a runner in scoring position with less than 2 outs each of the last 4 innings.

How many blown saves

and bullpen losses is that this year? And how close is the 2nd worst team?

30

a couple of teams are close:

The announcers said the record was 34, but I read somewhere this year that it was 39?

Think

I read that too…

How depressing. I had last checked the score about the 7th inning and when I checked back I fully expected to see that we’d blown the lead…and sure enough…

How many games have we won when Ryan Franklin

pitched 2 innings?

Follow up question: How many games have we won when the manager incorrectly fills out the lineup card?

+1

I don’t remember (or maybe I’m just trying to forget) is Franklin under contract for next year? If so, can we petition Mo to order Tony to NOT use him after the 7th inning and never for more than one inning?

Man the Cards have just blown it badly

The Cubs lose their 6th game in a row tonight and the Brewers had lost 4 in a row before tonight. If they could have put together some type of winning streak here, even the division could still be up for grabs considering we play the Cubs 6 more times. I know there really wasn’t much available and teams were asking too much, but if Mo could have picked up a good closer for the stretch run here, I think we would be in the race big time right now. But nope not to be.

I bet Mo is really wishing he would have pulled the trigger for some type of move at the deadline now for a closer. Maybe if we are in this position next year…he will be more open to get an “impact player” at the deadline to help the team seeing what has happened this season. Watching his team completely blow any chance of the post season when the teams above them were almost begging them to get back in the race.

We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.

Question

I was outside feeding the cat and locking up for the night when the blown bunt happened. Just so I can fairly spread my anger amongst all those responsible for the 11th inning meltdown, what happened?

by ArkansasTravs on Sep 6, 2008 12:07 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

glaus just didn't pick it up

he thought it would roll foul, but it stopped on the line. He could have had the out at first.

by SleepyCA on Sep 6, 2008 12:39 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

if he had simply just picked it up the moment he got it, the runner at 1st would have been out by 20 feet.
