Should we abandon our hope that Young will ever learn to work more efficiently and just accept him for what he is — a flawed, but damn good pitcher?

    Man, we have a tough division. Game at a time, and here’s to solving Derek Lowe. ERA against us in 2005: 1.22, in 2006 was 1.83. Got to him in 2007 with a 5.30, but he did pitch well against us so far this year. Damn DePodesta, bringing him over.

    What’s up with all the extra base hits?

    Are Hairston and Gonzalez allowed to go past first base like that after they hit it?

    well there went that hard work on one swing

  10. Posted April 12, 2008 at 7:24 pm | Permalink

    Gonzalez, Iguchi and Kouzmanoff are among the top seven in the NL in hits.

  11. Posted April 12, 2008 at 7:25 pm | Permalink

    But none in the top 10 in hitting.

    That Furcal cat is pretty good

    CY is one of our best pitchers but is the most frustrating to watch

    strikeout works too

    Uggh. CY getting hit hard; JE missing another over the shoulder catch.

    Tough start for both pitchers. Hopefully CY can work through it like Peavy did and have the offense pick him up.

    Young’s fastball velocity is down 3 mph from where it usually is. That was a really terrible pitch to DeWitt.

    You can’t walk Jones and hope anything good will happen

    I hate the decision to walk Hu. Hu is not a good hitter, and having Lowe instead of Furcal possibly lead off the next inning is a big advantage. Also, Young with his control right now could end up walking Lowe.

  28. Ben B.

    Perhaps hate was too strong. There is certainly an argument for it. I think it would have been better to go after Hu.

    CY is not looking good tonight.

    Or if you pitch to Lowe that could happen.

    Can they trade Edmonds for Happy Gillmore?

    Maybe one of our 25 long relievers should pitch in the 4th.

    I can understand why Ledezma doesn’t like to throw strikes.

    Come on, guys. It’s only 11 to 1. ;-)

    I hope CY isnt hurt. He was throwing 85-86 yesterday. That makes his straight as an arrow no movement fastball much less deceiving. Lets hope Maddux can twirl 6 or so solid innings.
