July 8, 200422 yr Im glad that putting Easley at 1b finally came back and cost us the game. I dont care what he did at the plate, he still let down the team on a routine grounder to 1st.

July 8, 200422 yr Pavano is partially to blame too. 1 run scores, okay. 3? Come now. However..Easley may have hurt more than he helped in this game..without his error and RBIs the score would've been 1-1.

I dont care what he did at the plate, he still let down the team on a routine grounder to 1st. 446163[/snapback] well the inning should have being over right there. Pavano had to also work through the bad read in the OF from Willingham which he did, but he can only do some much. With the Easley error I believe he had to face the pirates best hitters, and he didnt have his best stuff thats when the Defense has to step and do their best not to mess up.

July 8, 200422 yr Coulda woulda shoulda, Easley had a good game made one mistake and it cost them the game pretty much, but as someone said Pavano had plenty of chances to get that last man out

You wearing clown shoes or something? there were two outs. Easley makes that simple play and two runs don't score.
July 8, 200422 yr easleys's error cabrera being waved home from first pierre's bad bunt/caught stealing in the ninth all big mistakes

July 8, 200422 yr Both times we gave the Pirates 4 outs to work with, they made us pay. Simple as that, and that was the difference in the game.
July 8, 200422 yr unusual mistakes cost us the game with easley's error obviously being the biggest *ends captain obvious rant*
July 8, 200422 yr easleys's error cabrera being waved home from first pierre's bad bunt/caught stealing in the ninth all big mistakes 446204[/snapback] Add the ridiculous floating strike zone to that list

I couldn't watch the game so I'll take your word for it but after just about every loss people say something about the umps(usually Cape).
July 8, 200422 yr I try not too. But this series they were absolutely horrendous, and tonight's might have been the very worst one.
July 8, 200422 yr After seeing the highlights, here is what I think: Pavano got ripped off. That should have been strike 3 and we leave that inning with a 2-1 lead. Easely doesnt make the error either. That said, we aint the Cubs. Gotta suck it up and close it down. Easely should not have struck out on a called strike. That pitch was very low and inside - so much so that it makes one wonder why the Pavano pitch earlier was not called a strike. Umps have been killing us of late. Against the D Rays too, for example. But when you are struggling, that seems to happen - and when you win, it goes your way. So I dont blame the umps, but they sure arent helping either. Or even being neutral. Which makes me wonder, how can someone be 'good' at being 'neutral'? Hmm... :blink:
July 8, 200422 yr Pavano did get screwed on the strike zone last night, no argument there.... but he still walked two guys & hit a batter in one inning. But once again Choi sits against a lefthander and McKeon's throwing guys all over the place defensively. I like the fact that Easley's getting some playing time, but why at the expense of one of our best hitters? Maybe the most frustrating game I've watched lately.... really thought they were going to win it.
July 8, 200422 yr Not just one of our best hitters. Everytime Easley is in the game at first you realize soon how underrated at defense Choi is by the people here. Choi makes that play yesterday by himself, and if we had seen Tuesday's lineup the damage might have been greater than 3 measley runs.
July 8, 200422 yr people blame the umps too much. The ump ws CB Buckner, what can you expect with this guy? I think that last strike call was because he wanted the game to end or something. It was way inside.
July 8, 200422 yr y dont we just keep choi in the lineup against leftys ????makes no sense you dont see other teams taking out one of their hottest hitter if not the hottest to put in a journey man who is a terrible fielder and has ht good in the past couple games
