April 18, 201214 yr Saving pitchers after an off day is a terrible idea. Dusty has a bunch of terrible ideas. I'm not a huge Lance McCalister fan but he's right that you kind of want to use Chapman when Cozart and Votto are coming up.
April 18, 201214 yr The more I think about it, that call on Stubbs at third base is about as bad a call as you will ever see in MLB. It wasn't even really a bang bang type of play. The throw was well off target. That gave the ump plenty of time to see the tag. The runner gets tagged on the hip as he is coming up from his slide and the ump still calls him out. That was one terrible call. I agree that it wasn't a smart decision but on the other hand, this team needs a spark so I am not going to get on Stubbs too much for being aggressive. If the ump makes the right call, maybe it energizes the team.

April 18, 201214 yr I'd rather have Franco Harris than the Harris we currently have. Harris has only one thing he can do respectably - draw walks. I say we put number 1/2 on his back and turn him into a modern version of Eddie Gaedel. Tell him if he ever swings the bat, he is cut.

April 18, 201214 yr Well at least Dusty is trying to mix it up... Cozart 6 Stubbs 8 Votto 3 Phillips 4 Bruce 9 Rolen 5 Heisey 7 Mesoraco 2 Latos 1
April 18, 201214 yr ^What the hell is Stubbs hitting 2nd for? That's ignorant. If it takes Rolen out of the cleanup spot I am all for it. He struggles with breaking pitches. I am guessing Dusty thinks he will see more fastballs hitting ahead of Votto.
April 18, 201214 yr So why not... Cozart Heisey Votto Phillips Bruce Frazier Stubbs Meso Stubbs should under no circumstances ever hit higher than 7th. He shouldn't play more than a day maybe 2 a week.

April 18, 201214 yr I guess Frazier needs to get adjusted to being on the big league roster a couple games before he's available...
April 18, 201214 yr Heisey is just as bad as Stubbs. Hesiey at least has a glimmer of hope of getting a hit. Stubbs couldn't hit a freaking beach ball.
April 18, 201214 yr I guess Frazier needs to get adjusted to being on the big league roster a couple games before he's available... He will play tomorrow.
April 18, 201214 yr Hesiey at least has a glimmer of hope of getting a hit. Stubbs couldn't hit a freaking beach ball. Heisey has a career average 3 points higher than Stubbs and amazingly strikeouts out at a very similar rate. Not much different.
