    They tried to give us something with the HBP and walk putting two on and nobody out in the second.

    Liberatore lacks command of his primary pitches. He has them, but can’t spot them.

    Which is why he needs to pitch on a regular basis. The brass feels he is better off doing that at Memphis, even though it is not like it will harm the big club’s chances at a post season berth if he were to work at the top level.

    Don’t think this Leahy guy is planned as being a part of the club’s future, but what the heck. Nice for him and his family to get time in the bigs and experience some nice paydays on the 1st and 15th.

    Maybe Flaherty won’t suck tonight. So far so good.

    They probably just swapped Libby out for a fresh arm. I figure he will be back after the AS break.

    Yeah, good for him. It’s also my understanding that one day on a Big League roster qualifies for lifetime medical coverage and 43 days qualifies for a minimun pension. Not too shabby. Took me 32 years…Haha!

    Nice having a 3B arm at 2B to turn DP’s.

    Jack has the 2seamer tonight. Last start it ran a foot and he had no command of it.

    Yeah, that was by no means an easy opportunity to turn 2.

    Perez has the goods. Hunt for a mistake.

    Jack has 3 pitches working and a low pitch count.

    Oli is certainly not 100% to blame for this year’s performance, but unfortunately for him, the skipper takes the hit at times like these. He’d also take the credit if they were having a bang-up year. But does make me wonder how he’d look as a manager if he had a stellar rotation and bullpen. Would we still be saying he needs to go? To be honest, probably not, but that tells me that last year when the rotation was marginally better, Pujols, Molina, Maddux filled in the leadership gap. It’s when a team performs badly that the weaknesses become glaring.

    Contreras getting slider happy. Lets break more bats w/the 2seamer.

    Check out Ollies resume and to me its just not there. If you don’t have the guy there then it only makes sense to hire in from outside the organization. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

    Yeah, it was. You don’t see him tater-up for a HR to that portion of the ballpark too often.

    Flaherty doing well.

    I still think they should trade him.

    I don’t trust that his arm isn’t going to fall off at any moment.

    The Marlins are an astounding 21-5 in 1 run games this season. You’d almost think that the simple laws of average would dictate that they lose this game if it stays a 1 run difference. Almost…

    Nice to put it in play from Burly after sitting at 0-2 to get the bleeder for the RBI base hit.

    Carlson didn’t pull the trigger on a meatball. Must be getting tired! Give him a gatorade!

    I’m still not accustomed to the ad patch on the shoulder sleeve. I think it was the Reds who have a Kroger patch. We don’t have those Kroger grocery stores in StL. anymore, but when I first saw that patch during one game, I got a little hungry. Hey…those things work!

    I just now noticed that the Marlins are 1-9 vs. the Braves this season. Skippy may be doing a nice job, but he’s gonna have to find a way to figure that one out.
