Balester is flirting with disaster with all these fly balls in this bandbox.

Man, Balester is giving up a lot of hard hit deep fly outs. OK for now but they make come back to burn him later on.

I agree with this. I think he is more suited to take an approach like Guzman. While there will certainly be some downside (few walks for one), Bonifacio seems a better player when he takes the contact approach rather than the look-for-the-right-pitch approach.

definitely. not every player should be a pitch-taker. Guzman does well swinging away as does bonifacio.

JMU, do you know why VanAllen didn't make his scheduled start tonight?

Hmm, no idea why. Looks like a last minute scratch. He probably reaggravated his injury or hadn't fully healed yet, because he hasn't been doing so hot since his return from the DL.

i think we are the worst team all around. worst coaching, worst players, worst front office, worst ownership. wow we can't do anything right!!!

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #56 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:38:44 pm »

worst ownership might go to marlins and/or oakland

milledge is awesome. he is ON FIRE. he's gonna get to .280 by seasons end if he keeps hitting like this....the trade looks great

Let's see Milledge get thrown out at the plate!
That would be the cherry on top!

hanging curve right down the middle. oh well, we suck.

oakviewnatfan · « **Reply #62 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:41:24 pm »

At least that was a great pitch by Myers!!

Air Zimmerman · « **Reply #63 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:42:01 pm »

despite the K, the pimp is now hitting .270, he's one of the most solid hitters on the team.

this is just unwatchable anymore. i've turned into sportsfan.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #66 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:43:24 pm »

F U Bergmann. Does he really think it's funny that he is such a bad hitter? I don't think it's funny at all and neither does Manny.

Even on this terrible you got to love "Mini Manny".
You would think the Dodgers would have tried to trade for him just to get him on the same team as Manny.

UMDNats · « **Reply #71 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:44:45 pm »

and balester is collapsing

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #72 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:44:55 pm »

Brink of disaster. Gets their best hitters out and now walks/hits the 7 and 8 hitters. yuck.

oakviewnatfan · « **Reply #73 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:45:31 pm »

Here we go no hits so far by the Phils but the three run homer by Rollins is coming

He's a fun nice guy. Maybe he'll get an offer from MASN.
