Approaching Buddy Hernandez Territory
All things considered the way the offense is going, we have to be ecstatic this team is 4 and 2 and going home. Although a win today would have been nice and a sweep, if they would have told you before the road trip began they'd go 4 and 2 we would have all taken it.

What I want to know is when is Heyward going to get a hit when it really matters? Guy is a good player but I can't call him clutch.

Yeah I can't believe he hit in the 9th. SMDH!

It wasn't hindsight. I said I didn't like it before the pitch. Say what you want about my opinion of Fredi, but if I think it is a bad move I don't wait until the result to say so.

Thats fine.
Carp and Avilan were fresh so i guess they could of made it a bullpen game after the 6th.
But pitching didnt lose us this game.

Not as much as you, there is a word for that you know? That's also why few take you serious anymore.

While Tyler runs and Schafer and Pena sit on the bench.

Like in the playoffs last year?
He's battling a sore neck, btw.
Good call on us getting blown out today.

Like i care what anyone says about me.
Uggla's actually looked pretty decent so far, one of the few bats who hasnt sucked, hit into some tough luck thus far. I dont see why you say he should be replaced of all players.
I saw the replay of the throw, it would of been hard as hell to get the runner at 2nd.

He is still terrible defensively (and his coming around a little is hitting around .200). Pastornicky can do better on offense and defense.

Tyler is also bad on defense and Uggla has hit into some tough luck. Six games is too early to be replacing anyone.

Exactly, we've wasted some fine pitching. I don't expect it to continue this great pitching wise in the Mets series. I doubt Harang pitches good two straight outings.

Tyler is bad on defense at short, not at second. He's a good second baseman and was actually great at second this spring making some highlight reel plays.
Dalyn

Nobody wants to be the guy who breaks the streak. I bet Harang throws another quality start.
Dalyn

He is bad at second, too.

No he isn't, I've watched him many games (mostly minor league games) and he saves runs at second in the long run. It's a small MLB sample but his DRS at second in the Majors is +1 (not in the negative at all). Uggla on the other hand has a bad DRS for his career and last year as bad as anyone.
