Nieve comes in and gives up the lead. Only one letter off of Niese, but a wider gap in performance, needing only four pitches or so to allow a hit.
And that's why Pagan should be starting over GMJ. GMJ-fails to even make contact, K's with Reyes on base. Pagan-comes through.
this is what the lineup (in my opinion) should look like after the ASB: reyes ss davis 1b wright 3b beltran cf bay lf francoeur rf thole/barajas c castillo 2b or castillo is gone and tejada will be at 2b pitcher and jerry should be gone by then.
Has anyone else noticed how good our starting pitching has been the last week, besides possibly maine.... If we start hitting even a little bit, and keep pitching like we have been, this team might not be half bad. Pelf, and Niese seem like solid young pitchers, Ollie and Maine might rebound and pitch like the decent mlb pitchers they've been in the past. The pen looks promising too. *No need to mention Johan, thats a given.
would you really want luis in the two hole? if he was gone i would have put tejada in it. i just cant stand castillo. id rather the pitcher bat before him.
