Friday, June 18, 2004Erstad up, Quinlan inDarin Erstad will bat leadoff tonight in Houston. Well, it's better then having Erstad batting sixth. Not as good as Erstad batting tenth though... Robb Quinlan will replace him in the six-hole and will play third base. Can we get a round of applause for Mike Scioscia!? I assume this means that Figgins will move to short, which pushes Amezaga to the bench. All good things. UPDATE: Seven walks in six innings!? When did we trade for Kaz Ishii? Suffice to say, Escobar has been on a tight rope the entire a game and is throwing a shit-ton of pitches. UPDATE: Here's an idea to jump-start our sputtering offence- bat the slumping Jose Guillen (1 HR in June) second while in the National League. That way he'll see more fastballs (batting in front of Vlad and all), and hopefully add some desperately needed power. I would also suggest moving the pitcher to the eighth spot. That would give us a lineup of: 1. Chone Figgins (SS)I know, batting Darin Erstad sixth is a sign of true desperation. The 6-7-9 slots are basically interchangeable, so move them however you like. Just an idea... UPDATE: That's it for Escobar. 4 ER in 5.2 IP, with 7 BB and 6 K. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut... UPDATE: Pete fucking Munro. We got shut down by Pete fucking Munro. This is getting real old guys. |
