I wanna see us put up 10 runs.
Better learn to hit junk, bc we won't see a fastball today after yesterday's display
We won't all year. Can has already announced to the World that we want fastballs.Quote:

Come on dude, what team doesn't want fastballs to hit?Quote:

Wow, so you think Cannizaro made it all the way through the coaching ranks and landed this job with a hitting philosophy that complete disregards hitting the breaking ball?Quote:

Got the starting lineup yet?
Ur right. I was looking too much into it.Quote:

I like seeing Cody in there today. AC clearly sees a 5 hole hitter in Elih, so we'll see what happens. If we struggle against these guys and their #3 starter, I'll be surprised
Im fine with LA & Grid 2&3, but Elih at 5 is, well, interesting. I'll trust AC though...it's early.Quote:

I want rooker 3rd bc I want him to get the extra AB. Just think if he was 3rd last night, he gets the final AB. The 3-spot had 2 on and 3 on the last 2 ABs last night.Quote:

Baseball threads are beyond impossible to read. Hell, football threads after losing to south Alabama are better. It's painful.
So how good is plumlee?
