Well we know the first game will be a loss, because that's what happens this season every time we're a game short of .500.
We do seem to bounce off the ceiling on that one. :LOL:

This time we break the tendency.

Good Lord, Canzone couldn't beat out that grounder into the outfield with an off balance throw? Yeah so he must be slower than Gorman Thomas & he's the one who definitely needs to be dealt for whatever piece they need later.

Yeah, Canzone is slow, but getting rid of Canzone would be a great way to make our lineup worse. We only have 4 guys with a higher BA, and only 3 with a higher OPS. Canzone has 18 RBI's in 91 AB's. For reference, Julio has 20 RBI's in 180 AB's.

I'm not saying Canzone is some awesome all star level player or anything, but he's been one of our better and most productive hitters.

And once again we have either Joe or Refsnyder taking probably the most crucial AB in the game because Raley was taken out earlier due to matchups.

It's shitty roster construction by Dibozo

That nonsense just proved exactly why you can't have BOTH of them in the lineup at the same time, especially hitting near each other. They subbed BOTH of them for inferior players vs a "leverage" lefty that wont be seen again. We would have a better chance later vs Miller with either Raley or Canzone instead of the 2 scrubs. If you're gonna pull Raley for the "Handed-ness" of 1 ab, Canzone needs to be the replacement after & vice versa.

Pinch hitting for Raley to lead off the inning was stupid. No reason to do it. Then to watch JP hit against lefty and pop it up. Dan should just send a memo to the other team telling them all his plans for each situation….

And we lose yet again to another mediocre starter, because this pathetic extra streaky offense can't score any damn runs. But "it's early"..... 50 games in & STILL UNDER .500

I'm not a Julio fan. If he's your best player, you aren't winning anything.
