hernandez is so much better suited for the 8 hole. i'm looking forward to him playing well there.

true knocking

Hernandez gets a lot of unnecessary crap around here. He's batting .289 with an OBP of .385 this season.

question: does batting (especially hitting the ball) effect the pitcher's arm strength? i.e. does an at bat like that tire a pitcher like ..say... 5 pitches?

the experiment of him at the leadoff was a disaster, but he's been solid/good in other places. Also considering he was rushed back to the majors after his injury, he looks good

why did they all of a sudden decide to start throwing Ryan Howard fastballs?

No Bob. We have nothing else in the bullpen.

should have been a DP - but ...at least we got one

He's almost 37 years old but he owns the Nats.

Why can't we get that muchacho out?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #211 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:00:45 pm »

Not sure I like this move right here.. seems like more overmanaging by Acta. I hope it works out

Why the hell is he taking him out!

Mock isn't good enough for the 8th, but he's good in a game-saving situation here?

FIRE MANNY!

solid outing out of scott olsen tonight. the kid has really come around.

nyexpofan · « **Reply #215 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:01:57 pm »

imagine how olsen feels right now - he has a 3-1 lead but runners on 1st and 2nd 2 outs. the #7 hitter is up and Manny pulls him for Mock.

eagleskins · « **Reply #216 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:02:48 pm »

Absolutely asinine decision by Manny pulling Olsen. Stupid.

uncleteddy · « **Reply #217 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:02:49 pm »

I, for one, feel comfortable with the bullpen trying to get 10 outs against the Phillies in this ballpark with a two run lead.

nyexpofan · « **Reply #218 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:03:32 pm »

Mock on the mound with his 9.82 ERA - tying runs on base.

YANK THIS BUM!!!

whew, thank god. good pitch.

uncleteddy · « **Reply #222 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:04:07 pm »

Phew.

Getting a good result doesn't validate the decision.

It was a tough call with Olsen only having 93 pitches. But better a batter early than a batter too late. Mock just needs to throw strikes.

nyexpofan · « **Reply #224 on:** April 29, 2009, 09:05:21 pm »

Mock does it !! he recorded an out !! olsen pitches 5.2 and allows 1 run. but who pitches the 7th 8th and 9th? good luck scott.
