"What does it do if I use this?"

Jerry's "gut feelings" are crap. Murph and Reed showed the first signs of life for this team in a while and neither is in tonight's line-up.

In their stead, is Fernando Tatis...the same Tatis who has sucked this year and is hitting .071 (.071!!!) lifetime against Wolf in 28 at bats.

Against Left-handers in 2008 & 09 Murph is hitting .317/.348 (albeit in 42 limited at bats). Give the kid a chance to build on something.

Tatis isn't going anywhere for us and Murph could really use an opportunity to break out. Not giving it to him is abhorrent.

vs lefties for some reason. Remember a couple of weeks ago when he opted to pinch Argenis instead of Murphy with a lefty on the mound? The crazy thing is Murphy has never been awful against lefties, yet Jerry refuses to let him see them.

"It's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ballgames."

playing the percentages incorrectly is what Jerry does to lose ballgames

"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
