Deno flies out to RF. 1 out
Here comes easy out
He'll even GIDP for us.
I HATE Clayton and Narron. Screw both those losers.
MVP: Phillips
Marty is a fellow supported of Narron's decision to play Clayton every day. But he has to admit tonight that Clayton sucked it up. Narron is going to have to revamp his thinking real quick. Clayton better not be in this lineup tomorrow.
LOL.
I am glad I was at work for this game, although I have read all of the Gory Details about it.
Arroyo continues to regress to the mean as was likely to be the case. Bray was awful tonight, Majewski's arm might be fried for the year(?) and Lohse is Lohse, despite what Ken Rosenthal thinks.
And I'm glad Narron continues to sit Edwin so he gets the rest he needs on the bench. With Clayton playing so well offenisvely and defensively at SS, we don't need Edwin's great OPS or good range. He makes too many errors on throws...but didn't that Clayton guy make one of those types of throws tonight too?
The team had the choice to add a legit starter(which is needed) and Narron STILL has the choice to play the right players: EdE 3B, Phillips SS, Freel 2B, Hatteberg/Aurilia 1B.
Will he do it?
Doubtful.

Homer: We're proud of you, boy.
Bart: Thanks, Dad. But part of this D-minus belongs to God.
BTW, I'm assuming Lohse's appearance tonight indicates Claussen will in fact be starting on Saturday? Can Lohse really go back out there as a starter after pitching tonight(being it will already be one day short of normal rest from today to Saturday).
I guess they trust in Claussen's nearly the same ERA/IP last night in AAA to translate into something much better in the majors.

Actually I didn't think Lohse looked that bad honestly. He was hitting 94-95 consistently with his FB with a slider around 85-86. Looks like he has the stuff maybe he's just in a funk right now.
He's been in a funk for most of his career then.
