Actually, that's not true.

Most of us are quite willing to admit when we’re wrong, it’s just that the few who won’t are among the loudest voices.

I’m more than ready to admit I was wrong about Edmonds, but it’s going to take a lot more than two nice games against the lowly Rockies to get to that point.

Yep...

Not a lover yet either, but if he keeps it up, most of use will be glad to admit we were wrong.

The thing is

Apparently he went back to his old, successful batting stance before the game on Friday. He changed his stance in new Busch and at Petco, and it didn’t work for him, obviously. Whatever it is, hope it continues!

by JohnM on Jun 1, 2008 2:51 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, Brenly said he eliminated

the stride from his stance and went back to the old stance he used, like you said, in STL. Looks like it’s working for him thus far!

Don't know. He may want to milk another inning and save the bullpen.

Do we play tomorrow or day after? I think that would factor into it.

He woulda been doubled off if it was caught anyway. Shoulda just kept going

Edmonds is on deck and I feel somewhat confident that he can pick up Geo if necessary.
