Bambi does Not stack up well against the Fish
Let’s hope the quest for .500 overcomes this.

Pinky: "Yes, ... wait, ... no, ... never mind"

moar power due to 1 year+ of rehab for ribs in 2010?
BA increase and other batting ##s not that extreme – stolen bases way off from 2009, so +upper body strength means less running.

C'mon John, do you really wanna give it away that badly?
He may be pitching himself out of next year’s rotation. He’s been consistently mediocre. I’d love it if he became expendable; his control seems to disappear a lot, and he’s not a guy who can afford to walk people.
NOT counting on that....
I keep HOPING he becomes expendable by better pitchers.

Every team needs more than five starting pitchers.
Spot starters and such. I’m betting that’ll be Detwiler’s job, but they could easily swap.
True, buuuuut...
Nobody (except the Chisox and Ozzie Guillen, for a while) uses a 6-man rotation. I think clause the last of your post will come true – RD in the rotation, Lannan to the pen… or elsewhere.

I had forgotten that part...
BTW, Willingham was named the A’s “Catfish Hunter Most Inspirational Player” this year. I looked for a print link, but couldn’t find one. I did see it on my TV though with him holding his baby and looking good. he’s had a good year for the A’s and they like him a lot.
I like HRod a LOT! Heh.

I like Coffey, but will there be room for him next year?
It’s getting harder and harder to earn a place with this team. That’s progress.
He's been ... OK this year
Not really better than that. He was brutally awful in June and July. Made me think he was trying not to get traded because he loved DC so much!
He's been oddly effective much of the year...
better than HWNMNBM and Bally…that’s for sure.

I can’t help but feel bad for the Braves, though I sympathize less with the team than with the fans. Slumps like those are painful any time of the season, let alone with a postseason spot on the line.

What's Slaten got on Davey?
I guess really believes that wins don’t matter if you don’t make the playoffs. The guy failed before he went on the DL, he’s failed after he got off. I’m resigned to Davey being back next year, and the last couple weeks have been a great ride, but this is another of his moves that has me scratching my head. And not just because it itches.
I'm MOST worried about what Davey said about Henry Rodriguez...
that he could run Henry out 4 or 5 times cause he’s a horse.
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Two times in a row: Ok
Three times in a row: Dicey
Four times in a row: STUPID beyond belief.

A while back
I thought DJ was taking a garbage time approach to September, but then he began combining managing -to-win with late-season talent assessment. I wanted DJ’s head after the Strasburg Returns(!) Game, but IMHO he’s done a lot better since then.
Slaten notwithstanding…
by Elvin Unseld on Sep 27, 2011 9:50 PM EDT up reply actions
My big beef with Johnson is how he's used the bullpen.
Maybe next year there won’t be enough weak links for misusing the bullpen to be as costly. I hadn’t seen his statement about running Henry out there 4 or 5 games in a row. When that happens he not only has a harder time throwing strikes but his velocity also decreases. He becomes Daniel Cabrera. If he works out over the offseason and comes back stronger we can see what happens, but don’t talk about using him like that after what we’ve seen multiple times this season.
You know what?
I’m deciding here and now not to be bitter. It would’ve been amazing to end above .500, and how I wish they won this game. Regardless, it’s been an alternately magical and frustrating, but, I think, ultimately rewarding season, and I’ve had a blast watching these guys play. So, let’s go and get the win tomorrow!
As a side-note, though, I’d point out that the offense really never got anything going the entire game; take out Morse’s solo shot and Lombardozzi’s lucky double that led to Desi’s RBI single, and you’ve got an easy shut-out. Let’s face it, Vazquez threw some good stuff, and honestly, he deserves the win. The line-up isn’t the same without Zimmerman in there; why not let him pinch-hit instead of Nix?
Still, Slaten’s definitely one of the only weak links in our bullpen. Would’ve preferred to see…well, pretty much anyone else. Lannan’s “wild pitch”, which Ramos should’ve easily stopped, was also a huge facepalm moment.
Never mind about Zim
Thought he was just getting a rest. Didn’t see that he could possibly be injured. Only one game left, but let’s hope he isn’t.

what are the chances the Fish sit Stanton and Bonifacio?
I would expect them to play if they care about their fans..............maybe early exit?

To be honest, I didn't expect to win this one.
The way it happened was infuriating, though. No wild pitch from Lannan and it’s Storen in there instead of Slaten.
Win tomorrow, and we can go out on an even more positive note. I wouldn’t complain about 79 wins, but 80 would look a lot better. No way did I expect this team to win that many games. We haven’t hit Volstad that well, but I like our chances with him much better than with Vazquez.
