Bump' date=' Josh tearing it up again tonight. Its a good thing Fredi left him in there instead of going with Hermida, really riding the hot hand.[/quote']

Because Hermida was the hot hand?

 

This is a classic case of playing the result.

 

BS and you know it, I was calling for his benching before the game started. I'm just rubbing it in now.

 

This is a classic case of "I told you so".

Bump, Josh tearing it up again tonight. Its a good thing Fredi left him in there instead of going with Hermida, really riding the hot hand.

Playing the result, maybe....but with the way Hammer has looked lost at the plate combined with Looper on the mound, I would have thought getting another left handed bat in the lineup would have been a good decision. All I know is I'd rather have just about anyone at the plate right now other then Willingham with a runner in scoring position. :banghead

OK, you want Gonzo to play because he played well in his last 2 starts a couple days ago.

 

Do you sub him in for a guy on a 3 game hitting streak or a guy who is 0-8 with 4 strikeouts, 1 DP, and 0-4 with RISP?

 

Fredi went with the 2nd one. I didn't agree with it because I hate seeing Gonzo in right, but Hermida has looked terrible against the Cards.

 

 

I'd rather have Hermida going 0-4. At the very least, if I play Gonzo in LF, he's not playing out of position.

send him to aaa and give lo duca or mcphearson the call up

 

hammer needs to get his swing back and theres no better place to do that then the PCL

 

 

 

You do know these players have contracts, right?

So? He can still get sent down.

 

Forget it. I thought Hammer was getting about a mill per at least. He's only making 405K.

Hammer needs to stop striking out looking. He keeps on thinking he is going to get walked and thats a way out of his slump or something... honestly Id rather see him strike out swinging. But first he needs to FIGHT for that starting job. Sure Luis Gonzalez was an 0-for tonight but with some well hit balls... Hammer was absolute trash.

I agree with Renteria and those who think Hammer is legitimately hurt. The back problem is serious. Hammer is a guy who has always hit, just a good hitter, and since he came back he's a different guy out there. I have to believe it's the back and IMO he should probably be on the DL.

Hammer Hammer Hammer, fu*k you. I think the blame really goes to Fredi; I don't know why the Hammer is even in the lineup, he's already ruined a couple of games and he's either beat up or not hustling. His defense has improved dramatically, but unfortunately his bat is nowhere to be found. You can't have a player out there that's Hitting into DP's with the bags loaded, not swinging at pitches in the zone with 2 strikes and leaving people on base like there's a parade on the field. Hammer thanks for everything so far this season but you need to go find your swing back at the minors, not up here in the majors where it hurts us. See ya next year.. Perhaps

i woulda happily seen hammer strike out looking in the 8th innings last night

 

at least it woulda given us another chance to tie the game/take the lead rather than him hitting into that god damn double play

OK, he's sucked, but I haven't seen a single play where Hammer doesn't hustle.

Can Dallas play LF? I seen several of you guys say that he once played OF, but IDK if there's any truth to that. Can he play LF? possibly as much as Willingham can, or better? I say demote Hammer back down to AAA and bring up Dallas. Let Hammer get out of this slump down there. lol

Dallas can't play the OF. He's only played there for 1 inning back in 2004. The talk of him playing OF mostly comes from a mistake on the roster page on MLB.com.

F*ck the god damn hammer. His ass should have purposely struck out. I was yelling at the T.V. DON'T SWING, DONT SWING, PLEASE DON'T HIT INTO A DP... f***ing sure enough. Bench his ass for a week

MAn i dont know what to do with josh hes just flat out sucking. He seems to be on a pitch or 2 every at bat fouling it straight back but then he either swings through one or goes down looking. I love josh but he cant keep hitting like this.

Oh, is it completely impossible for him to play LF? We need to get his bat in the line up.

Willingham sucked last night.

 

Hermida had sucked for a few games, thus the benching.

 

Gonzo was doing well but sucked last night. (unfortunate)

 

The Marlins sucked last night. (unfortunate)

i wouldnt go as far to brand the whole team as sucking last night

 

despite giving up 10 hits, nolasco did ok as he only gave up 2 runs in 6 innings, and jake had a nice game too

 

the blame goes to willingham (been discussed plenty), gonzo for grounding into DP with bags loaded (overlooked a bit for the willingham incident) and the bullpen (4 runs in 3 innings - not like them as they have generally been great recently).

The Marlins didn't suck.

 

The pen was bad, and so where Gonzo and Hammer. Everyone else contributed.

It's always stupid little mistakes or the little things that mess us up :banghead
