Jackets1407 0 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 GG smoltzy.Hope to see you on ESPN some day.Listening to his press conference right now. He says that he hasn't lost his competitiveness, and that he still wants to compete. He's going to go through rehab, and he said if he can physically do it and help this team next year then he will.Would love to see Smoltzy on the mound again, but if not see ya in Cooperstown!

Jackets1407 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Wow we are really bad right now. I have no idea why Francoeur is hitting 3rd rather than McCann in Chipper's absence. He is just terrible right now. Hopefully Chipper is coming back tonight (they said it's a good possibility).On to the good news....Glavine has an elbow strain and will miss his next start which hopefully means Morton will finally be called up and get a well deserved start. He has been sick in Richmond and looks like a top of the rotation guy. Link to post Share on other sites

That rotation has a chance to have two legit aces, or a frontline starter and 4 rookies with too much pressure put on them.Francoeur 3rd is unfathomable. Cox needs to put Blacno in right and Anderson in center to give Frenchy a chance to get it together. Link to post Share on other sites

He has got to learn how to hit rather than just being a free swinger. He could take a few lessons on hitting from his best friend and ex-roommate. Link to post Share on other sites

It's almost like he's selectively pressing, if that makes any sense. Link to post Share on other sites

It's almost like he's selectively pressing, if that makes any sense.It def makes sense. He still needs to learn how to "hit" though. I think it was the first game of the Phillies series last weekend and Chip and Texy had both just walked to load the bases. And instead of being patient and waiting on his pitch, he swings at the first pitch and grounds into a DP to end the inning. He has to learn when to be selective and when to be aggressive. All of the tools are def there, he just needs to learn how to use them. I think (hopefully) it will come with time, just have to be patient. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you go with an outfield of Diaz/Blanco, Kotsay, and Schaefer, will Josh Anderson as a spare outfielder and look to deal Frenchy for some starting pitching? Link to post Share on other sites

Jackets1407 0 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 This is so bad that it's laughable right now. I can barely even watch this team play. If I were Huddy I would be extremely pissed off right now. They have now cost him at least 3 wins already this season. Wowwowowow I don't know what else to say anymore.

cuddlemonkey 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Morton looks good thus far. Outside of a rough 3rd, I don't think he's allowed a baserunner. Link to post Share on other sites
Jackets1407 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Morton looks good thus far. Outside of a rough 3rd, I don't think he's allowed a baserunner.Was really happy with Morton's performance last night. Not many balls were hit hard and he missed a lot of barrels (We just got shut out while I'm typing this). Good series overall....won 2 out of 3. Maybe we can build on this......hopefully?
