Matt Holliday needs to get a different approach in RBI situations. The other night against SD he did something similar. Those RBI's are essential.

Roxpert · April 10th, 2007, 09:13 PM

Is Kim being showcased here? 4 of 5 lefties facing him so far.

EDIT: Make that 5 of 6 lefties. And now we're in trouble.

BigRapidsJackass · April 10th, 2007, 09:16 PM

It's to the point where you wonder why Hurdle or Cockrell or somebody doesn't ORDER Holliday to take the first pitch. Bases loaded, put a little pressure on Beimel.

So the stage is set for Kim to blow it again. Kim is a world class loser in these situations.

HoyaRoxFan · April 10th, 2007, 09:24 PM

Yikes... mmk, let's not see him in any high pressure situations again either... Roxpert, I concede you were right last week... this bullpen is scary...

Roxpert · April 10th, 2007, 09:28 PM

Now will Hurdle pinch hit for Torrealba? Finley hitting for Tulo is right move. Righties hit .117 off Saito last year.

Roxpert · April 10th, 2007, 09:30 PM

Game over. Torrealba not removed for pinch hitter. Mabry never got off the bench. Wonderful.

BTW, that last strike was a joke. Ankle high.

BigRapidsJackass · April 10th, 2007, 09:34 PM

Matt Holliday: would-be star power hitter, showing no ability to deliver the run from 3rd with less than 2 outs and a pretty crappy pitcher on the mound

+

BK Kim: showing no ability to throw strikes when they're needed, and then weirdly giving in to Martin when he got ahead 0-2 and Martin looked completely overmatched against him

= Frustrating Loss

Holliday needs to learn how to play baseball and not simply rely on his talent. For as well as he hits at times his approach to certain at bats like tonight with runners in scoring position and his decisions on defense really hurt us.

As for the bullpen, it is clear that Hurdle does not have confidence in Bucholtz or Afeldt. Not that I blame him, but what is the point of having two relievers that the manager doesn't trust on the roster? Doesn't Bucholtz still have options?

Our starting pitching has been great so far, but the offense has been subpar, especially with runners in scoring position, and the bullpen has been bad (anybody else experiencing a bad case of deja vu?)

Apparently I was delusional about or offense this season. I thought we might have one.

If Tsao looks gret I'm going to be pissed. I'll bet he strikes out the side.

RMF · April 11th, 2007, 08:49 PM

Affeldt's in, the game is over!

BigRapidsJackass · April 11th, 2007, 09:00 PM

Coming up on 1 run in the last 16 innings now ...

Roxpert · April 11th, 2007, 09:06 PM

Gotta love that 0000000ffense, led by Todd Helton and his lusty .241 average, 0 homers, and $16.6 million salary. If ONLY the BoSox had been willing to give us Hansen and DelCarmen, that deal MIGHT have made sense!!

BigRapidsJackass · April 11th, 2007, 09:08 PM

John Mabry, showing how to strike out looking ... and looking so professional doing it ...

Roxpert · April 11th, 2007, 09:25 PM

Whose 000000000000000000000ffense is worse, the Rockies or the Giants? They just got shut out for the 3rd time in their first 9 games, and have 2 homers this season. We are on our way to being shut out, and have 4 homers in nearly 9 games.

I guess there's one team more impotent at the plate than the Rockies.
