i hope somebody had a video of toman today. he actually put a juke on the ump tryign to get in between him and the ump that blew the call, like a barry sanders style juke. It was pretty good to see. I think his main beef was that the runner never moved, usually if the ball is even close the runner would've made an attempt to score. Nobody moved, Tyler didn't go after it, Doug never moved then like 10 seconds later home plate ump waves for a fair ball and 3 runs score. I dont know if the ball was fair or not but usually the reactions of the runner would give you a good idea and the guy never budged. Same ump blew a call in game 2 on a stolen base that cost Tyler a RBI and the flames a run.

Rasmus showed he's a stud today. The guy can flat out do it all. He hit a towering bomb, clutch rbi double, absolutely hosed a guy stealing 2nd and caught a very difficult short hop on a throw from the OF to tage the runner out. Game 2 he lays down another bunt and steals second, same as the VT game. That guy can play. Parmley looks like another Redal (both looks and his game and left handed hitting). I dont think he's quite as good as Curran was but he will be the CFer. I still like moving Doug back to first, sizemore at DH. We've got to find someone to play some D at 2nd and LF, a lot of costly errors at both positions this week.

Agree totally about Rasmus; he is excellent.

On the ball down the line, I didn't have a good angle at all, but definitely nobody moved, so obviously there is going to be a major argument. A couple of people that I talked to (with better angles) said that the ball started down the line foul but then bent fair before it got to the bag.

Oh my goodness, I had forgotten about the call in the second game - Matt Williams was on his way up from his slide before the tag was even made and the guy called him out. He was safe by quite a bit - brutal!

Haley is a significant upgrade defensively at 2B, but he was hurt. I'm not sure of his status now.

i had wondered about haley. Also, is there any word on dudley, i'm guessing he's hurt too since he hasn't thrown at all this year. Daniel Brown was on cruise control until that error in the 7th today got all that trouble started. Looks like he could be another solid arm down the stretch. If haley isn't out very long then i actually think we may actually be in better shape than i thought. We still have gotten no wins from evans and forslund. We get those two guys going and the results will be better. Didn't Austin taylor play some OF last year, with him swinging the stick why not put him in LF and move doug back to first with size at DH. Doug just doesn't have enough range or arm to play the OF but his stick is pretty consistent.

Dudley is hurt.

I'm not sure who is pitching if there is a game tomorrow. Forslund was warming in the bullpen in the 7th inning of the 2nd game; I don't know what to make of that. Whoever does pitch only needs to go 4-5 innings because Josh Richardson hasn't pitched at all this weekend.

I agree with you about Brown. He was doing well. If we make the play at 2B, maybe there's no trouble at all.

Taylor did play some OF last year and I agree with that idea.

Doesn't look like any baseball today unless the rain stops.

No game today.

Let's put Doug in the DH spot, as they have put him in the outfield because he can't field ground balls in the infield either. Put Taylor in LF as he is hitting the ball well and has a little more speed than Doug B. Keep Sizemore at first because he is a big target for our infields who have have problems throwing the ball this year; and he has been hitting all his balls really hard lately. Lets hope for a great week of baseball from this bunch of guys and put some W's in the win column.
