Is it time to bring in HRod just to loosen a few Arizona hitters? (So your guy plunked Werth? Our guy will try to throw it over the plate, so duck your head! (or "you'll be in the past tense", as Casey said)

HOLY crap!!!  Is someone really walking out to "This is how we do it"?!?!?!?!

It's friday night, and I feel alright.

We had better chase Saunders tomorrow.

^ Those scouts should be fired.

Exactly.  Even if he's 29 (though he's probably 34), he should be much more developed than he has appeared.  I don't get what they saw in him.  Is Cuban professional baseball really that bad?

Cuban baseball is decent. It's possible that Maya is 32-33 and has seen his better days considering some of those guys start playing in their big leagues before they turn 20.

No.

Clearly they either didn't really scout him all that well, or the scout that saw him was an idiot.

Saunders is a total washup.  If we don't tee off on him tomorrow Livo better break out the nutcrackers.

Or he made a deal with Maya to get a kickback.

He got hit last night.

That's why they hit Werth.

But he's playing tonight and Jayson isn't....and they're not paying him $126 million!

This is hardly a fair exchange.

(Note on Myaya fastball: MLB records it as 88 mph. Steady. If he has three or four other pitches, why does he start a batter with a fastball? Can't Livo explain the basics? Warren Spahn: Hitting is timing. Pitching is disrupting timing, or words to that effect.)
