Drew Stubbs and Chris Heisey. We need two new OFers for next season.

Re: I was wrong about....
I just remembered a pretty big one: Cueto.
He and Volquez were exciting up-and-comers around the same time, and I was positive that Volquez would turn out to be the ace and Cueto would be around a #4-type pitcher. I think it's still too early in their careers to guarantee that both of them will always be the type of pitchers they are now, but pretty safe to say I was very wrong on this. I thought Volquez had better stuff with a higher ceiling and that Cueto's build was going to limit him.

Re: I was wrong about....
Ok, digging this up again. I was wrong about Dusty pitching Arroyo in game 2 of the NLDS. I was wrong about Dusty playing Stubbs in the NLDS. Just seems like every decision he is making right now is coming up Aces!

Re: I was wrong about....
I was wrong about this offense being able to turn it on.......just like that. Their AB's have been good to great due to the fact that they look at where they are at....realized they cannot go for homers and adjusted. I wish or hope they continue to swing like this beacue homers are gravy in GABP.
Wrong about Arroyo as well. Pitching in game 2. ...over Bailey. |

I realize he's perhaps not as good as his results have been so far in the playoffs, but Baker's made the "right" decision based on his results, has he not?
