No, this is Baker ball. You instill faith in your veterans. Even if they are glove only guys.

Valdez is better than Harris IMO..seriosuly tho why would we get our hopes up. Frazier will get sent back down. Not that its right but its probably going to happen

Struck out on a pitch that bounced to the catcher and was a foot outside.

Looked awful on a slider for strike 2 and never thought "hmmm I looked so awful on that pitch I think he might throw it again." and he struck out on the exact same pitch.

Looked like a blind man trying to swat a mosquito.

Hard to believe Valdez and his career .289 OBP made an out.

Pinch hitting a rookie for a Cagey Veteran. Well "hey man" I'd never do that.

Seriously, now he brings Cozart in?

Who was it that Juan Castro pinch hit for a few years back? was it Dunn or someone like that?

WHy the hell didn't Cozart bat for Valdez?
