April 17, 200422 yr might want to read my post again the part where it says to WALK CHIPPER jones and put Bump in for ANDRUW Jones :confused My bad... I still don't agree with your logic because pitchers need to be aggressive.If Oliver was getting pounded it would have been a different story and your logic would have made more sense.
April 17, 200422 yr the difference is that Oliver isnt a top quality pitcher that should be trusted to get out guys that are all-star caliber hitters in key situations the second Giles ripped that double, that bullpen shouldve sprang into action if it was any of the other 4 marlin starters I would agree with you but not Oliver and this is no knock against him as a pitcher, you have to play the situation
April 17, 200422 yr two thoughts, dont know if this has been said, but i think it was the double before chippers hr, Pierre had a chance if he dove. He just didnt have the foot work to dive for it. Also on franco's hit, red or lowell's got to be yelling to come home with the throw to HE STOPS THE CHOI. just minor things, but overall i think we played pretty decent, just a few hanging breaking balls away from winning 8 straight
April 17, 200422 yr Id agree with everything except Conine. Yesterday was the first game I could watch on television and after hearing the announcers saying how slow his bat was it was amazing to see how incredibly slow it was. This is the year of major age-related decline for 9ner...bring on the omgnunez. Sooner the better.
April 17, 200422 yr Author Let the vet hit out of his slump..... or atleast give him another 25 at bats or so
April 17, 200422 yr Let the vet hit out of his slump..... or atleast give him another 25 at bats or so Common sense says thats the answer, but 9ner has lost a ton of bat speed this off-season. It aint going to happen.
April 17, 200422 yr the fact is, youre not going to get 5 Becketts in your rotation Yeah, we don't need them. We have a Josh, a Brad, a Carl, a Dontrelle, and an AJ waiting in the wings :thumbup
April 17, 200422 yr I was very worried Conine because of age issues however Conine lost 10-15 pounds due to a viral infection. thats why his bat is slow. he is physically worn out. he shouldnt be playing right now so that he can recuperate but I wouldnt be worried about him long term
