June 25, 201016 yr Well we blew a golden opportunity to gain ground for the third straight day and if I see another start like that from robertson I would not mind him being out of the rotation. secondly, strickland, houser, and wood need to go and they need to go like right now. fail to get to .500 and just not a good way to end the series......so much for our huge 3 game win streak. Also, we have two starters with ERA's nearing 5......i think the rotation barring JJ, Anibal and Volstad is very shakey.
June 25, 201016 yr Our bullpen situation is deplorable and I think if Beinfest fails to straighten it out by years end, he too might be gone.
June 25, 201016 yr I wouldnt be surprised to see Houser gone already by tomorrow, that was a disastrous debut, and the way this bullpen is, his seat has probably already been taken.
June 25, 201016 yr Let's see what the next hack and fix will come from the management.we need pitching.
June 25, 201016 yr Our bullpen situation is deplorable and I think if Beinfest fails to straighten it out by years end, he too might be gone. Loria fires Beinfest, and it'd be the dumbest move he'll ever make.
June 25, 201016 yr Author i just honestly have no faith in robertson at all.....you never know what you are going to get and even when hes good hes only decent.
June 25, 201016 yr i just honestly have no faith in robertson at all.....you never know what you are going to get and even when hes good hes only decent. In a perfect world, he'd be in the bullpen.
June 25, 201016 yr Author on another note liked what i saw from sanabia and too bad houser cost him that extra run. badenhop veras and luna really need to be given a shot. it just infuriates me that we know some guys will do nothing and yet they are still on the team.
June 25, 201016 yr Nate had a mid 4's ERA going into tonight's game, which really is fine for your #5 starter I'd say. Sure didn't have much tonight though.

Loria fires Beinfest, and it'd be the dumbest move he'll ever make. I just don't get the love for Beinfest, he's the architect of the mess we see every night.
June 25, 201016 yr Author i guess no moves were made after tonights game....great guess we have our boys houser and strickland for the padres....things are looking up. i hate being so negative but regardless of trades this team has better options and they arent using them.
June 25, 201016 yr Our bullpen situation is deplorable and I think if Beinfest fails to straighten it out by years end, he too might be gone. Loria fires Beinfest, and it'd be the dumbest move he'll ever make. I just don't get the love for Beinfest, he's the architect of the mess we see every night. He's consistently put a respectable team together on the field, despite a sh*t payroll over the years. He's one of the better GM's in baseball. He does not deserve to be fired. It's not Beinfest fault that he doesn't have the resources other "great" GM's do. Funny watching Julio Lugo tonight, and hearing the fact that the Red Sox are still paying him 9 million dollars this year. Yet, that crucial mistake of a signing doesn't cost a team like the Red Sox because they just buy some more players to replace their mistakes like it's all good. No GM is perfect, and Beinfest has constantly been put in a situation where he has to be near perfect, at all times. Consider yourself lucky that Beinfest is your GM because with this payroll, we shouldn't even be close to contention. We should be more like the Orioles, if anything; yet, we're not.
June 25, 201016 yr Hey all, so how do you all feel the new manager did tonight? He was managing his pants off out there. Too bad Freddi couldnt have taken the bullpen with him...and Robertson...haha No worries, these guys will become good eventually one day. Maybe 3 or 4 managers from now they will pitch a scoreless inning...haha We have a very good group of players, we are really close to being really good.we have been really close to being really good for 3 years now, we will get there, no need to panic or make any moves to try and improve anymore than we already are.

June 25, 201016 yr :bangheadJust got back from the game. What a freaking waste of $$... Robertson is HORRIBLE! Sanabia (sp?) was pretty good threw strikes I say give him a start. Robertson to the bully in long relief. Houser blows. Strickland blows. We all know Wood blows. How come our lefties stink! They can't get lefties or anybody out. On my drive home I heard Bobby V is a done deal for the weekend. Finally, the Adam Jones bobblehead the O's gave out is as bad as their team and our bully, it came out of the box broken! Our batters strike out way too much! For goodness sakes be patient at the plate!
June 25, 201016 yr I didn't see the game, but I saw Sanabia was working 90-91, topped out at 93. Very good. I am optimistic he can turn into a 5 or a quality 3rd-4th RP in the pen.
June 25, 201016 yr That Hanley AB when he swung at the same 3 crappy pitches in a row to strike out was pretty putrid
June 25, 201016 yr Hanley, Uggla and Ross all hacked away at and badly missed the same nasty stuff, low and away sliders. The guy only threw two pitches, fast ball inside or slider low and away to everyone, including Cantu (reached on an error.) After all these years, it appears that guessing, not pitch identification is their strong suit. After reading Pressley's whining and sour grapes, it's clear he has a lot to apologize for and has no intention of doing so. Team strike-outs and NL rank since we hired Pressley in December 2005: 2006 1249 1 (understandable, they were raw) 2007 1332 1 (oops, should have gone down significantly) 2008 1371 1 (should have been fired, this is ridiculous) 2009 1226 4 (saved a job he should have lost a year ago) 2010 567 2 567 equates to a full-season rate of 1294. They're regressing toward their worst totals ever. Absolutely pitiful. At least he won't be around to screw Stanton up.

At least he won't be around to screw Stanton up. I'll be damned. Somebody else finally figured it out.
June 25, 201016 yr They are 5th in the NL in runs scored and in the top 10 in all of baseball. Since 2007 they have only been outside the top 5 in runs scored in the NL 1 time and that was in 07...they were 6th. I agree though...its OBVIOUSLY the hitting coaches fault. Keep the insightful observations coming Big Boband Hammy
June 25, 201016 yr Except Uggla went 4-5 with 3 rbi last night but i guess that doesn't count when you're trying to make a point.
