So it's not like Trembley called for the intentional walk immediately. With a base open and a 3-1 count on one of our only power threats, I can see why a manager would go ahead and put Guillen on base rather than be forced to groove a pitch to Jose Guillen in a 3-1 count.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-16778758282970623442009-05-20T12:44:50.265-05:002009-05-20T12:44:50.265-05:00I don't think Brett was talking to you, direct...I don't think Brett was talking to you, directly, at all. Putting yourself in the same league with the morons he DID call out is being pretty harsh on yourself since you've probably forgotten more about baseball than the guys he mentioned ever knew. I'd be frustrated, too, if I still lived in K.C. and had to listen to anything Keven Kietzman has to say about the Royals, or, baseball Roy in Omahanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-4923799365951079212009-05-20T10:45:33.700-05:002009-05-20T10:45:33.700-05:00I'm just amazed that Olivo took a walk (and took a...I'm just amazed that Olivo took a walk (and took all the way on 3-1). He gambled on that pitch (stating after the game that everyone throws him sliders away on 3-1), but it was a smart gamble that he should make more often.<br /><br />After watching two straight guys go yard before him, and knowing how hard Olivo likes to swing, I figured he's swing out of his shoes at the first three pitches.

Quite frankly, I've been satisfied with Sir Sidney all season. Of course, my expectations for him have also taken the fact that he's a #4 into account. Bottom line: he's kept us reasonably in most games, and he's eaten a ton of innings, which makes our bullpen so much fresher for all of our games.<br /><br />Hochevar's debut Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891590552116667437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129904004334636055.post-77949503926081961112009-05-20T00:45:09.494-05:002009-05-20T00:45:09.494-05:00There are no hopeless Cardinals fans.
