NINETEEN FOR.. That doesn't work anymore does it?

[nymr83]

Livan Hernandez still has that crazy curve huh?

[HahnSolo]

One bright spot is Kirk making a case to stay in center when Torres is back. 3-4 with a walk, 2 doubles, 3 runs scored out of the leadoff spot.

"Gay dame."

So, I don't want to jump to conclusions, but should we at least consider that maybe Dickey's knuckleball doesn't dance too much in the rain, and maybe think about swapping him out of future rainy-day starts?

[TransMonk]

Yes.

That makes sense, but last-minute changes to the rotation can bring their own havoc. What could they have done? Given Batista the start? Let Niese start on short rest?

Is there a reason for your out-of-context quotes in several threads lately? I'm thinking of a post that just said "Gift baskets" and couple of others as well.

He'd have done that except it was going to interfere with a prearranged appearance at a Barnes & Noble.

Well, there was rain scheduled for Tuesday as well, otherwise maybe you swap Santana and Dickey there. That may even get Santana an extra day here and there in the future, and Dickey on short rest usually isn'ta big deal. But not sure how that plays in with side-sessions between starts.

I was thinking at the top of the thread that maybe this dyslexic designation for the game is well past it's sell-by date.

Casey swapped pitchers in and out of his rotation all the time --- based on whether they were pitching well, whether the other team was stacked on lefties that a righthander might be vulnerable to, or other favoriable conditions.

It's easy to do when you're not working your entire bullpen all the time.
