April 5, 201610 yr Hmmmm, I remember advocating May to be the 7th/8th inning guy a la what the Royals were doing with their staff. /vindicated (at least in game 1)
April 5, 201610 yr Jeez, send May out for another.Some would argue that they should send him out for 7 or 8 every 5th day
April 5, 201610 yr If this game has to go into extra innings... do we see Nolasco or Milone at some point?if it comes to that at least Santana can pitch a game early
April 5, 201610 yr Some would argue that they should send him out for 7 or 8 every 5th day I wouldn't argue against that.
April 5, 201610 yr This game probably ends with a Sano error. There, I just said what we were all thinking.Way to cheer on the team on opening day.
April 5, 201610 yr This game probably ends with a Sano error. There, I just said what we were all thinking.As long as it doesn't end with a Sano/Buxton collision... http://www.hummerguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/smartcarcrashtest.jpg
April 5, 201610 yr As long as it doesn't end with a Sano/Buxton collision... http://www.hummerguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/smartcarcrashtest.jpgOh God, don't even think it/say it.
April 5, 201610 yr As long as it doesn't end with a Sano/Buxton collision... http://www.hummerguy.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/smartcarcrashtest.jpg I would have had Sano pictured as an F150. Edited April 5, 201610 yr by mnsportsgeek
April 5, 201610 yr Oh God, don't even think it/say it. I was against moving Sano to RF for that recurring nightmare scenario alone.
April 5, 201610 yr Again, what is the point of bringing in Murphy if you refuse to PH for Suzuki in the 7th inning of a 2-1 game, or the 9th inning of a 2-2 game? And don't give me this "Oh it's only game one Dave" nonsense, every game counts just as much as every other game. In a 2-2 game in the 9th inning, you need to go for the win any chance you get. Murphy is more than capable to "catch" and come up later in the 11th/12th inning if it goes that far to hit, in fact, he is likely a better hitting option and defensive option at this stage anyways!

What's a bench for if you refuse to use it?
April 5, 201610 yr Great. That's not something we need day 1. At least he looks okay. Edited April 5, 201610 yr by mnsportsgeek
April 5, 201610 yr I was against moving Sano to RF for that recurring nightmare scenario alone.God that would be like 100x worse than the time we all saw Liriano get injured.
April 5, 201610 yr I would have had Sano pictured as an F150.Me too. Best I could do, and as a bonus, the ratio of a typical 4 door sedan's weight of about 3400 pounds and a smart car's 1800 is almost exactly the same as the Buxton/Sano weight ratio, if you believe Reusse's column.
April 5, 201610 yr I agree. What's a bench for if you refuse to use it?Santana had a great spring, let him get a shot there.I'm not a fan of Nunez on this roster, but if you won't bring him in against a LHP, what is the point of having him on the roster? If they switch to a RHP then you bring in Arcia.'I just don't get it.

April 5, 201610 yr So I've been busy and have seen none of the game until the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth. I think I'll go back and read the first 591 comments. Not.Edited: 593. Edited April 5, 201610 yr by spinowner
April 5, 201610 yr Welp, that was a colossal fail with 2 outs and nobody on. But just in time for the national title game. Get em Wednesday.
