    Why is Diaz in RF?

    So Fredi double-switched, took out Heyward so Diaz could pinch-hit with only righties left in the Colorado bullpen, and when he still has Venters and Kimbrel left in the bullpen, so it’s not like he loses much of anything by taking O’Flaherty out of the game.

    PHEEEEEEWWWWWW! Nice K, O’Flaherty…But you’re going to get a talking-to from Fredi, who was trying to get back to the hotel in time to catch “U.S. Marshals” on Showtime.

    Shaun – I got pulled away from the game for about 10 minutes during the double-switch. What happened and why do you think Fredi did it?

    Fredi….why do you perplex me??

    Shaun – my real question is: why? It looks like all he did was make the defense weaker and the offense weaker.

    I feel bad about this bottom of the 10th.

    Why the hell is Durbin pitching? Where is Kimbrel and Venters?

    It doesn’t help that he wears the Hampton/Lowe number

    #110 – Great point. I hadn’t put that together. Yikes.

    Are Braves relievers required to walk a batter an inning?

    Steve, who knows? I guess he wanted O’Flaherty in longer, even with Kimbrel and Venters left.

    Oh, but gotta save Kimbrel for a save! Can’t use him to prevent runs, only to rack up saves!

    Fredi’s bad managing dodges another bullet.

    Great. Durbin got out of the inning so there are some who will think Fredi’s hunch was correct or something. Not that I didn’t want Durbin to get out of it.

    I vote Pastornicky to be our everyday shortstop.

    Also Hooray for Hinske!

    Hinske smash. Channeling his 2010 May. Keep playin him!

    Meanwhile Diaz can’t buy a hit.

    Sometimes a good team can hide how horrible a manager is.

    Nice! Now the run-preventing corner-outfield is in to protect the lead.

    You know the Rockies might be tops in bullpen landscape work. It really looks serene and peaceful out there.

    Kimbrel the idea is to NOT walk the lead-off hitter.

    Fair or Foul: The bullpen is a concern.
