Apparently, Perez is starting at 2B again today. He must really want to keep Hairston fresh. Now the SCORE is reporting that Dusty has changed the lineup so Hairston is now leading off and playing 2B. Not to fear Perez lovers, he's spelling for Ramirez today because of the "weather". what? are you ...

So what did I miss. Other than having Neifi on the starting line-up, any other bad moves he pulled today? I'm guessing that Macias was the first PH again eh? The first and only. Unbelieveable... I don't understand why that Macias was the first PH over Dubois or Hairston. Sure Macias may have "exper...

I will say Perez had a good day. but unless either baker stops using macias to pinch hit or all of the sudden macias turns in ROD F@#$(%@ CAREW IM GOING TO HAVE A BLOW OUT. SERIOUSLY, WHAT GIVES DUSTY? SO YOU REALLY THIN WHEN WE ARE DOWN BY ONE RUN MACIAS IS THE GUY TO GET US TIED?????????????????????

WALKER ON THE 15 DAY

grrrrrrrrrrrrr its great to see sisco start to develop inot the pitcher we all thought he sould become, but not in THAT royal blue uni I can understand Hendry's take on the rule 5, but htis could seriously backfire on us. it could have motivated him TOO much. heres hoping sisco comes back...........

No one has mentioned anything about maddux's performance last night. wth. i know this is a dusty bad manager move thread or whatever, but maddux's pitching last night wasnt great. Y'all can complain about neifi in the ninth or macias in the 7th. sure neifi in the ninth was really important but what...

[bragging]I just received a phone call from a buddy who has some tickets for next Tuesday's game and offered one to me. While the opposing team is an uninspiring San Diego squad, the seats are allegedly the new ones behind home plate. Thus, I will be able to counsel Dusty on his moves for one game....

L/R strategy is conventional wisdom, that the lefty will pick the ball up better vs. a righty, and vice versa. However, when you have a lefty who cannot hit right handed pitching(Macias, Perez) and a righty who can (Hairston), it doesn't make sense to play the L/R matchup. or if that bench player i...
