Dammit, Lance batting 3rd

He needs to bat lower in the order til he gets his shit worked out.

In keeping with clacks observation about slow starts, Paulino gives up one run in the first inning. (single w/advance to second on throwing error by Tejada, followed by a 2-out double)

We’ll see how he settles down as the game progresses.

by AstroAndy on May 12, 2009 8:22 PM CDT reply actions

It will be awhile before I can see the game.

But, based on Gameday, things aren’t going well.

by clack on May 12, 2009 8:41 PM CDT reply actions

You're right, clack...not going well

Rockies score two more in the third inning off of a double followed by a homer two batters later.

Fourth inning, Rockies score on a solo homer.

After four innings, Paulino has given up as many homers as he has walks and strikeouts (two for all categories). I can’t see what he’s throwing, but he’s clearly not in the groove he was in during his last start.

Coors Field

Is just too scary of a place for someone like Paulino to pitch well in. I hope this doesn’t adversely affect the management’s view of him.

The Crawfishboxes
A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

i bet it’s just the excuse they need for sending him back to round rock when backe’s all healthy

He almost did.

ALMOST!!!
He got two outs.
Then the motherfucker allows a grand slam.

Lance one-bounces the ball to Pudge for out one

That’s too many weak throws from Berkman to home this year. Surely his shoulder or arm is in worse condition than we are being told
