PS
Maybe not on this team, but with any semblance of a healthy lineup I’d have Frenchy on the bench easily

I'd have him in the minors but whatever

Nah
He’s too good for his age for the minors. Bench.

Its amazing
Franceur’s defense has been worth 1 run this year, while Church has been worth 3.6
Jeff has been worth -.1 WAR for the Mets, Church has been worth .3 WAR for the Braves.

You know walks are more important that strikeouts in that
A guy with 140 strikeouts and 93 walks over the course of the season is better than a guy with 90 strikeouts and 24 walks

he came into the day with a .292 OBP which included an IBB and 3 HBP’s

Shouldn't we just pinch run Parnell
It’d be so sad to see him hurt on the basepaths.

They only need 1 run to win today
So naturally they’re going to pile it on. Then when they need 9 runs, they’ll score precisely 0.

Ollie Perez warming up in the bullpen right now according to Howie and Wayne…..I don’t get it?
by ljshorty89 on Aug 5, 2009 2:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Maybe just a bullpen session
Pitchers do that on their off days, dont they?
by Steeeve on Aug 5, 2009 2:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I figured, but don’t they normally either do that before the game, or well after the game ends? I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone throw a bullpen session during a game?
by ljshorty89 on Aug 5, 2009 3:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i think they do it all the time

It's possible
Maybe they usually do it after the game, but they’re heading to San Diego right away so there wasnt enough time?

New plan every fifth day
Socks comes out to the start the game and in the 1st or 2nd inning he grabs his leg and falls into a heap. Jerry gets on the phone to the bullpen: “Get Wilson Figueroa up, looks like Starks is hurt again.”
Then Figueroa can come on as the long man and Jerry doesn’t have to worry about using that Socks fellow again for the rest of the day.
