July 18, 200422 yr The ball never hit the wall, it hit him. In all reality he could have probably settled under it but he got overexcited because the wall was right there, and then the ball hit him in the hand. His defense has been a disappointment, but as one of two bats who will actually drive runs in I'd want him out there
July 18, 200422 yr Cabrera is RF is not going to cost us games.? Ever. But I wish Jack would stop flip flopping he and Lowell.? Keep Cabs and Lowell in one spot. 462769[/snapback] This is the most ridiculous comment ever. Right off the top of my head I can remember 2 games where cabrera's errors have cost us games. Once in atlanta in extra innings, tonight. 462786[/snapback] Wow, you have no perspective then. Let me ask you this, how many RBI's did Cabrera have last night? Let me tell you - because I wouldnt want you to get lost on the internet - Cabrera had 2 RBI's last night. How many runs did we score? 2. Now, did he cost us the game? [insert most ridiculous comment ever here now, please.]

[insert most ridiculous comment ever here now, please.] 462851[/snapback] If he makes the catch on the warning track in the 8th pavano most likely stays in and finishes the inning. If he makes a routine pick and throw we had a good chance to either hold the tying run at 3rd or throw him out at the plate if he decided to run. He may have batted in the game's only rbis, but he completely negated them in the 8th inning with the worst defensive effort I have seen out of an outfielder on this team since cordero took it upon hisself to hand a grand slam to our opposition. Even if you don't believe he cost us the game last night, to say he will never cost us games in rf is just wrong. Can you honestly tell me a ball bouncing off his glove in the 11th inning on a routine fly allowing the winning run to score is not costing us the game?
July 18, 200422 yr give the guy a break half the people on the team wouldnt have gone up for the ball hes 21 hes got balls lets name some other people who would sacrifice there body for the team( besides JP) even if he missed the catch 462829[/snapback] Every other player would have sacrificed their body.... as far as I have seen we have no pussies on this team
July 18, 200422 yr look cabs has a hell of an arm, he has a great bat, tremendous power, but lacking in defense. oh well, so wat, we need him in the line up everyday. plus switch him where, back to 3rd take out mikey,no, my solution if it had to come to this is, just try this for 3 games, Lf cabs, center the one and only center juan pierre, right nunez, he the only other one that has a average or above average arm and speed. take niner out, sorry conine but ur done man.
July 18, 200422 yr Below average is a vast understatement. If he makes 2 plays that he should in the 8th inning we are winners tonight. 462532[/snapback] well he was the only run support they got if it wasnt for him it would have been a shutout
July 18, 200422 yr i guess we really have no choice though... i mean you could put him in LF but he could f*** up there too 462556[/snapback] He did f--- up in left field last year too. No one wants to admit it though because they're blinded by the ring. To them we did nothing wrong last year. We scored tons of runs, had the best bench in the league and had an awesome bullpen.

I dont think Cabrera is a very good defensive OFer right now, I wont disagree there. But to think that one player cost us a game is ridiculous. If you wanted to play that game, you can always find someone to point the finger at but you are missing the entire point.
July 18, 200422 yr no way can u say he cost us the game if hes not in the game we get shut out n arent even close ..... lets just forget it and move on
