LaRue doubles to right-center.
It's just to try & ignite some offense. Once they break their funks, then switch them back. They make a great 1 - 2 when they're firing on all cylinders.Quote:

Larue doubles. 1-0 count to Grif.
So Larue does own Prior, maybe Narron is smarter than most give him credit for him
LaRue hitting second is working so far!
Over-reliance on small sample size data is never a sign of intelligence.Quote:

Kearns singled Casey to third, and then scored on a Burnitz error.Quote:

He is a singles hitter who clogs the bases, hits into a ton of DP's, and has the fielding range of a turtle on crack (apparently!).
Last inning Casey doubled, Kearns singled and there was an error on the outfielder.Quote:

It would appear we're getting to prior early, keep the pitch count up and don't let him get in a groove like he usually does against us.
Also, Harang has got to hold the cubbies down from here on out
Casey in on a Kearns single after he doubled in the 2ndQuote:

small sample size or not some times a manager just needs to play a hunch since going by the book doesn't always work.Quote:

Can they replace it with new stuff that isn't filled with food preservatives and alcohol residual?Quote:

Earl Weaver
It's a nice challenge Naron is giving him.
Lee is swinging at the first pitch to get out of his funk, maybe Felo will take notice and try that himself.
He's thrown 51 pitches through 3... :pray:Quote:

Why?Quote:

This is one reason I don't understand why the great and all knowing Dusty used Wood last night in a 9-0 game. Why pitch him there when you could use him in a closer game.Quote:

Burnitz keeps fouling off harangs pitches

Burnitz is out, but i missed it. :p
