low and out of the zone.

You missed what I'm saying

Wak has been sticking him in the 8th/9th slots almost all year and now given a shot to hit higher he strikes out. Thus Wak will never let him hit this high again.

I wasn’t being serious about this.

You're right

of course as soon as he throws a non fastball it goes for an XBH.

In Play Run(s) with a runner on first, I felt sad trying to figure out how Eckstein could ever score someone from first.

Morrow's pitch count

Was it 75-80 for the entire game or just for the first inning?

Ronny Cedeno

That swing was pretty awful. I’ve seen dizzy, caked-out, blind-folded 5 year olds take more confident swings at a pinada than Cedeno took just there.

to ask the ump if that was legal

Where does Carp fit in?

Griffey is the DH against righties and Branyon is our everyday at first. It would be great to get some production from Sweeney’s roster spot, but we need a righty to replace him. So why call up Carp now?
