I was at Petco vs the DBacks last week

Such a nice park, with great site lines… but there were only 15,000 paid; probably 8,000 actually in attendance.

Good news? Only 2 jerkoffs in attendance, and they were harmless, but obnoxious.

lol

he’s got two starts this week. I couldnt put in Maine or Paul Maholm over him. If its any consolation I hope he gets shelled.

I don't let pitchers start against the Cubs

and I bench most position players too. I had to play Molina as he was my only healthy catcher and the bastard hits a homer
against the Cubs. However a lot of the guys I benched against them played great but I could not live with the guilt of getting those
points.

Is playing some nice defense at third base. Same thing Sunday in Milwaukee.

I'm sure he will have some mistakes along the way..

but he is much better than anything else we have.. Plus I like him getting some more at bats. I know he is struggling right now but he’ll be fine..

At work and not watching

but Jake Peavy struck out 12 in 7 innings in his last start. He’s pitched well lately, and is the one reason this team has any wins. Chris Young has been horrid and all the other starters are in and out of AAA.

Warning — Gaudin may have decided this is his last chance, so he put the bottle down and has pitched well in 2 out of 3 starts.

Just sayin’…..

but the way this game is going he is just as likely to have innings like the first and second rather than the 3rd and 4th.
