[Garmel]

Uribe batting 7th?

 

[Dalyn]

HR coming from Markakis tonight. About damn time.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Why, why, why would both Gomes and CJ be ahead of Uribe? He should be the four hitter. If not AJ.

I swear, if you nail the exact date I am probably going to soil myself.

Expecting a huge game from the Andreltonian.

Agreed, seems a 4th grader could make out a better lineup. Johnny Gomes batting cleanup? Bahahahaha

 

[msstate7]

Gomes only hits .250 vs lhp?! I thought he was labeled a lhp killer.

 

[skillet]

Gomes can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag.

 

[blueagleace1]

Banuelos is awfully worried about any runner on 1st.

 

[msstate7]

Banuelos is awfully worried about any runner on 1st.

If you had AJ as catcher, you'd be worried too

 

[UNCBlue012]

CJ is just so dumb

 

[blueagleace1]

If you had AJ as catcher, you'd be worried too

Two things:

1. Rizzo isn't running

2. Bryant isn't running with 2 outs and Rizzo up

 

[jsebe10]

Yea. 88 pitches is enough. Hack of a manager

 

[msstate7]

I really think I could go without seeing Simmons hit again in my lifetime and not regret it

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Find a real second basemen please.

 

[msstate7]

Dang it! Want Peterson to get reward with a hit when he goes the other way like that.

 

[msstate7]

Last night was great, but back to reality tonight. I knew when Gomes was hitting cleanup that we were in serious trouble. Someone really should tell fredi that Gomes hits less than .250 against lhp and that's not near good enough to put him in lf
