Chico just grilled Rig about pinch hitting with Harris and Orr with the bases loaded in the 7th.

If we don't see at least 2-3 of the young guys tomorrow it will be a joke.

Livan is going to get rocked anyways so what does it matter if we play the young guys?

whatever, we got NFL football tomorrow night.

Did Riggleman really pinch hit Pete Orr in the 8th with the bases loaded for Gonzalez who was 3/3 with 3 doubles?

If I had wanted to see the "new" guys play, I would have driven down to Potomac, or up to Pennsylvania. Leave them on the bench.

I don't understand why you want to make me watch young pups struggle against big league pitching, that's what spring training is for.

And there is the "respect for the game" issue. The Phillies are still playing for home field in the playoffs.

You'd rather watch veterans like Nieves struggle against big league pitching? Morse almost certainly would have been a better option than Nieves in that situation.

Exactly. When you've won one game in the past couple weeks, benching some starters is just common sense.

Well I was at the game last night, and I am still amazed that Ty -Clip didn't get the memo that you don't pitch high to Major League hitters..............two homers, both high pitch.........well duuuud......

Yep, major pitching problems still there, alive and well, for this team.....Check

Yep, still no clue as to strategy in the hitting line-up, as with Acta, so it goes with Riggleman.....Check

Yep, still not using players they called up, like Morse....................Check

Yep, still stoping players at third base when they had a chance to go for homeplate......Check

Yep, still not taking risks when behind by one or two points to score.................Check

This month is going to be a very long month for watching the Nats play baseball

But then it's over for 5 months, and we can post fifty thousand new threads on who will be in the line-up for the 2010 season.....

Clippard's been pitching that way since he was called up. He needs to develop something to keep right handed batters off his fast ball.

He's awesomeness...He went 4-4 in one of the games I went to in St. Louis...but we lost 9-4. Who wouldn't want Pete Orr at the plate in crunch time?

:facepalm: So when do you think our youngsters should get a shot? I guess you'd rather see AAAA players than let someone with a chance at being good develop.

Ty-Clip needs to pitch low. He pitches way too high. He's easy to read, for a batter.

The Chief · « **Reply #247:** September 10, 2009, 10:41:43 AM »

I'd rather see fresh potential playing at this point so I can at least hang a little hope on next season. It's not like they're going to lower our chances of winning much even if they suck.

You need to look at what he did when he was successful and what he did when he failed. The reason he's getting killed by righties is because they sit on his fastball. Up,down or in the middle isn't as much of an issue as the fact he doesn't have any other pitch against righties.

i don't know about you guys, but nothing gets me more pumped for baseball than seeing pete orr and wil nieves in that lineup card every night. some nights, it's extra special, and rigglemania puts jorge padilla in there as well. the lineup of champions!
