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.

    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.

  26. Stoney Says:

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

  27. Ben B. Says:

    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. Says:

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

    Or if you pitch to Lowe that could happen.

    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.
