Perhaps we can make this the game thread, since Charlie's apparently otherwise occupied, or perhaps the timed thread did not go up?
It's forcing me to get 75 words up to make this a fan post, so we can use it as a game thread. What shall we talk about? The weather? My upcoming shoulder surgery? How are you? Are you watching or listening to the game? The rain delay is over, so here we go...
[Ugh--my fault. Thanks for taking care of this, cocktails. -Charlie]

Aha, there is a game thread
I’ll add my comment on the recent trades.
I believe our new pitching coach, Coach Kerrigan, is a better judge of raw talent and a better "fixer" of pitching problems – both systemic and for single outings – than either the long-reigning "Spin" Williams or whoever we had before Kerrigan. When we hired Coach Kerrigan, I concluded that we had a commmitment to winning that had been lacking before. His presence is a forgotten story behind all of our trades this year.

They have a ton of injuries to key players – Reyes, Delgado, Beltran. Tatiste is a nice back-up outfielder and 1B (think Moss). Schneider is a light hitting catcher, Omir Santos is a medium to light hitting catcher. Cora, who’s starting at 2nd or short today, is a dime-a-dozen.

Lack of good defense
creates hard spots for pitchers, leads to bad pitching, which allows teams to take advantage of bad defense.

and now feels a bit guilty about dropping him for Gardner, Bourne or even Nyjer?

DY has a pair
The home plate ump has been calling that pitch to lefties and righties all day long. I guess if you are going to let a hittable pitch go by, you’ve got to save some face by making it look like the ump screwed up.

The bothersome thing about this year's team
…is how they are untiring in mixing and matching ways to lose. They used to be so predictable in years past. But this year, we can have stellar starting pitching and fail to get a run, we can jump out to a big lead and give it back, we can get absolutely shelled, or we can repeatedly fail to hit w/RISP and die on the vine.

That’s why he’s playing and Moss isn’t right now. It took Jones two games to hit the same number of home runs as Moss has all season.

I know what I said. I’m just saying…this team is starved for some offense and some power right now. Moss has no power. I know it’s just one game, but unlike Pearce, Jones has quickly carried over his Triple-A success to the big leagues. If Jones keeps hitting like that, it will be hard not to play him a lot.

He was also
0-fer last night, and let a ball get by on a failed dive.

Oh, the “power” thing is already being played out. Hey, I want to let Moss play, too, to see if he is going to be a piece of the future, but it’s been a year now and he hasn’t shown anything, and desperate times call for desperate measures. And as far as power goes? Jack Wilson has more HR than Moss. Enough said.

Cutch has air mailed quite a few over everyone on those throws home from listening to the games. Probably need to work on him to get the accuracy on those throws. He seems to have the arm strength just a bit too much ooommph on the throws lol. Better than underthrowing the ball like alot of our previous outfielders would do.
