He's been solid but he's due to give it up.

Pinch hit for Nieves

We give Nieves the last shot at Figueroa?

Play for the walk, Will! nevermind

Nah. He's one of the only guys here that is even close to being dominant. His stuff is that good, IMO.

LMAO at Clippard. He had a shut-out through 3 innings and then gave up 7 runs in the 4th. His ERA is now 8.56.

If it makes you feel any better, sportsfan, pitchers have a great record when Nieves is behind the plate.

They really do.

Okay, so why in hell is Lannan not still pitching? Pitch count? Really? Did you see how he was pitching???

Now the bullpen is going to blow it, great ... 4-12 here we come!

He is most definitely a defensive upgrade over Lo Duca/Estrada.

We only had 3 hits against that dude. And one was an infield single.

Rivera is a badass. If he can give us 2 innings, we should be fine. We've got the kangaroo in our corner.

When Saul used to struggle it was because of putting the lead-off guy on.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #239:** April 17, 2008, 09:03:52 PM »

It's never an easy inning for Saul. He's like Chief 2.0.

3 K's coming up.

Or a DP and a K.

eagleskins · « **Reply #241:** April 17, 2008, 09:04:33 PM »

We pulled Lannan too early. Leave him in, and if anyone gets on then yank him.

What happened to the squirrel?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #243:** April 17, 2008, 09:05:30 PM »

sigh.. Looks like it's going to be bad Saul tonight.

ronnynat · « **Reply #244:** April 17, 2008, 09:05:39 PM »

Thank goodness it was Delgado running there.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #245:** April 17, 2008, 09:05:55 PM »

Lannan should have started the 7th.

Sounds like he pulled a Bergmann.

The squirrel didn't do it for me. It failed the last couple of days. New animal after every loss.

Oh crape. King is in the bp.

Big out Saul! One more buddy!
