i heard about matsui choosing his off-day, so didn't expect to see him in the lineup...
but, with bourn also out, this is just a huge change with pence leading off...and it is cooper's 1st choice in 3 possible lineups for tonight.
(according to a jdjo's blog)

this should be interesting. glad it's not permanent, though.

Pence shouldnt think he's the leadoff hitter, he should ignore all the stuff about taking pitches and working the count and just hack at the first "fastball" he sees.

oswalt "admits" that he's trying to induce more contact
with the pitches he's throwing this year

what does he need to be thinking while he's up there

Egads...he went through this last year. He's a better pitcher when he's aggressive. I understand pitching to contact, but I think it makes him tenative.

If Cruz had not dived it would have been a single, and the runner would have score. He decided the ball would not be caught and was running before it landed. Watch the game boys.

Just a general question:

Roy had only thrown 87 pitches when his spot came up this inning with two on nobody out. Would you have left him in like cooper did, or go to blum or erstad off the bench with the score being tied. I don't think there is a clear cut right answer either way, but just curious to see what most would do?

Because you want to give yourself the best chance to get decent separation on the scoreboard with only 3 innings left. Again I don't think there is a right or wrong answer.

With your shutdown pitcher throwing aspirin and a live lineup behind him, you have plenty of opportunities to get that separation whether Roy makes an out or not, and there's no reason to gamble that you won't get any runs and then have to go out there with a lesser pitcher on the mound. Sometimes you have to go with your strength and not think about it too much.

The pitcher was just standing on the mound, not on the rubber or anything, first baseman was playing in front of the runner... Pitcher just suddenly wings it to the bag at first, about 8 feet wide of the first baseman. Carlos rumbles home, and Wigginton scores on the horrible overthrow from the 2nd baseman as he got to the ball.

Basically, the pitcher picked off the first baseman.

Michael Bourn is a very, very good fielder.

Remember being a kid going to my first game in the dome with my dad. Jose Cruz comes up to bat and we hear the stadium erupt in boooooooooooooooooooooo. Hadn't been in Houston for a long time, but long enough to know that Jose Cruz was a great player and we couldn't figure it out why in the world the crowd'd be booing him. Next time up to bat, a guy beside us was nice enough to explain they were saying CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Made sense!

Yeah, me too.

The '86 season was not a bad one.

Not until he plays in the shadow of Bristol.

The pitcher was on the mound and on the rubber. A play like that usually is called by the catcher by signalling the pitcher to throw. If that was it, the 1B missed the sign.

The SF Announcers said the pitcher gave the sign with his glove without looking at 1st base.

Don't think that was his point. He was saying he won't get the media support he should because ESPN doesn't care about anything other than the cubs, and northeastern teams.

Jane, thank you!

You showed all clarkies the best way to deal with good fortune by the local nine and also not tweak the BBGs all in one fell swoop. This is sheer awesomeness in terms of saying what you had to say in appreciation for the Blood n Mud's performance in May and keeping the humility a fan needs to have about it all. Very "don't say he's pitching a no-no, say "he's doing well" or "He's pitching a heck of a game"!" of you.

Well played ma'am!
