Its too late, there are too many teams to leapfrog, they are too far back, not enough games to play. I'd be happy to eat those words but I don't see it for this season. At least the Pirates run is about over too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] yea it sucks, but at this point I'd settle for a youth movement, winning record, and 2nd place ahead of St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Such an underachieving team. So many runners left on base. They need to work hard this winter with Yonder. He needs to be an everyday player. We need him to be hitting behind Joey. This team would be so much better if they can keep those two in the line-up.

[/quote] Cozart too. Assuming Cozart and Alonso can continue to do what they've done so far, the two of them can add SO MUCH to this offense.

JBandJoeyV Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 If they could somehow find a way for Alonso to play 3rd it would be huge...I just dont see it happening. I dont see him playing LF either. Unfortunatley Alonso is blocked. IF you find a way for Alonso to be a capable 3rd you could have a SICK lineup. 1. Sappelt LF 2. Phillips 2B 3. Votto 1B 4. Alonso 3B 5. Mesoraco C 6. Bruce RF 7. Stubbs CF 8. Cozart SS That lineup could be nasty. But once again I just dont see Alonso fitting in anywhere.

JC Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I can't wait till they get Billy Hamilton in the line-up. He is a blur. Wow. He has 78 steals so far this year. I went to a game this past week and the pitcher tried to pick him off five times before he threw a pitch. As for Yonder..if he works on fielding hard enough, he can become good in the field. If you have Billy Hamilton and Brandon Phillips in your infield at one point, you don't have to have a ton of range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 In danger of falling out of 3rd place. Bill Bray = The suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBandJoeyV Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think the biggest difference between this year and last is Arthur Rhodes. Its hard to blame the bullpen for everything, but it seems whenever its a tie game and we get to the bullpen they give up runs every time. Different guy each night. just disappointing. About to be 10 games back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 We need to close this thread to avoid more agony. Such high hopes, decent talent on this team....they just can't put it together. Whether its Dusty being a moron with lineups or handling pitching, Massett continually being run out there when he fucking sucks, Arroyo making far, FAR more money than his average talent deserves (and all the MLB-leading homers he gives up in the 4th/5th/6th innings of games), losing all these one-run games, too much striking out from Stubbs and whomever the fuck, Votto not hitting as many homers, defensive errors, Volquez not being the pitcher he once was....etcetera, etcetera....disappointing season for sure. Fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBandJoeyV Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Not sure if you can go into next year with Bruce and Stubbs batting back to back, just too easy to get back to back Ks. When they are on fire it would probably be great, but I just dont think you can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
