POTG is a weak pick something pick. I have no recollection of this game, even though I can write like twelve things about the games before it.
Everyone (well, every non-star) has a short leash with Lou around, and I think Gallagher might be done already. I think Lou will stand you not going long into the game if you’re at least effective, but Sean was neither here. Marshall being bad in AAA might be a deterrent for a shot time, but everyone’s pretty impulsive lately. Same thing with Edmonds – he desperately needs a multi hit game, or this experiment is going to come to a close quick.
If Hoffpauir could play CF, would he be starting everyday? (Yea, and for the last two years.)
At least Derrek is hitting again. It’d just better if it came with a road series win.
