Pedro Pages.........seems like a good guy. Good story, hard worker, etc. I like Pedro Pages.

But come on. It's not like his amazing catching abilities have transformed a bunch of scrubs into serviceable pitchers. They suck no matter who catches them. Would it kill them to start Crooks? He's caught McGreevy all year. So they're facing a lefty? Who cares? Give fans some kind of story to follow.

What, is he going to catch like one game and get sent back down?

Since bottoming out at the end of July, in his 16 games in August he carried 1.055, over 59 PA.

I'm not suggesting he turned a corner, or that Crooks shouldn't play. However, I can see the reasoning in him starting tonight.

They'd be foolish not to play Pages right now. I admit to him being the most depressing guy in the lineup in July but might as well ride the hot hand, something Oli seems incapable of understanding until now. Oh wait, he just loves Pages regardless. Oh well...

My guess is Crooks starts tomorrow.

Noot and his LHH in the 3-spot. Genius!

[82birds]

Noot doubles
c'mon Willson !

Lack of team speed costs us way too many runs.

[blackinkbiz]

Ugh, bases loaded with Walker...

Here comes the inning-ending DP.

[12xu]

Walker with the opportunity to put some early runs on the board..........what will he do?

Oli has already stated the both Crooks and Prieto will start tomorrow.

One of the stupidest things ever..........

[Absolut]

Baseball 101 fuckup. Jesus

[stlboiler23]

What just happened?

[82birds]

Ugh, bases loaded with Walker...

Here comes the inning-ending DP.

DP alright !

infield fly DP
ball is alive during an infield fly.

more baserunning screwups.

[Lightning Rod]

Players who don't know the rules of baseball. Sad!

Did anyone get the EV on Walkers ball?

[blackinkbiz]

F this. The ump completely hosed Walker calling a strike on a pitch that was 3 inches outside.

F MLB and these primadonna umps until these worthless sacks of sh*t are held accountable. Of course he's gonna chase when you call that a strike.

I don't even give a sh*t about this team or the game I'm just so f'n sick of this [nonsense]!

[Cusecards]

I have no words....except please fire Oli and the losers that coach(or attempt!!!!) to coach the bases.
Disgraceful!!!!!

[gtriever]

What a bunch of idiots.
